Dumb crooks...

So, 3:15 AM I hear a pounding on our front door...I drag my butt out of bed and there's a cop on our front porch. He tells me someone just broke into my truck. Dumbasses didn't take anything though. My XM radio was in there and some tools they could have taken...but no...they just opened the door (it wasn't locked) and looked around I guess. Apparently one of the neighbors was up and saw them and called the cops. They didn't catch them though.

It sounds to me like you are being too rough on the young men. I do not think they were dumb but rather inexperienced. I mean, how many houses do you have total in good old Elmore, 12?

By my count that leaves only one house per month for them to burglarize and not recycle too quickly. Of course that would mean that presumably they would be robbing their own house once per year as well.

Ultimately I chalk it up to a lack of solid burglary fundamentals. If you find them, please let them know I have classes each week, on Tuesday and Thursday, and that it would be a quite affordable solution to their problem!

Yeah, well, at least they didn't break your windows.... ;)
