The Inexperienced Thieves...


My husband, Pat is a building inspector. Today, he opted to take a call-out for a co-worker. He went to the house and was doing his inspection when two teenagers came running by, like they were going to a fire or something. He and the home owner didn't know what to think. Soon after, an old man came up. They asked him what he was looking for and he told them he was looking for two boys who had just tried to steal his car. My husband, being the kind of person he is started helping the man look for the boys. A few houses down, there was a building that looked like it had a playhouse or storage on the 2nd floor. He thought they might have hidden in there so he yelled to them "You better come out or I'm coming in there!" Next, he hears glass breaking. The boys had broken the upstairs window and jumped out. They were running away when the police rounded the corner and caught them.
Pat is notorious for getting into one form or another of situations. I guess you could say he has a very interesting life. Seems that no matter where he goes, he can always find something interesting to bring home to talk about. I am sure I will be coming up with more of his stories in the future.
