I was sitting on our front porch yesterday morning before going to work, and there were two police cars at the curb down the street from our house.\u00c2\u00a0 It didn’t appear there was any action going on, and when I got to work, I e-mailed a neighbor to see if he knew anything.\u00c2\u00a0 He didn’t, but he’d seen the cars, too (they were right in front of his house), so he shot off an e-mail to another neighbor and learned that a man had broken into their house<\/a> Wednesday night and passed out on their living room floor.\u00c2\u00a0 The homeowners didn’t hear a thing over the AC.\u00c2\u00a0 Neither did their dog.\u00c2\u00a0 Or, maybe the dog did <\/em>hear something but was too afraid to do anything.\u00c2\u00a0 We always assume dogs will save the day in these situations, but I’m sure there are plenty of scared pups out there.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 This was <\/em>a yellow lab, after all.<\/p>\n

My favorite detail of this crime is that the house at issue is the only one in the neighborhood with a tall, solid wood fence around the yard.\u00c2\u00a0 And it’s a small yard.\u00c2\u00a0 This guy would’ve been much better off picking pretty much any other house in the neighborhood.\u00c2\u00a0 Heck, he could’ve crossed the street and slept unmolested on our porch swing.\u00c2\u00a0 Better yet, he could’ve walked two blocks west and slept in his very own bed<\/em>!\u00c2\u00a0 Fella must’ve been pretty tanked to have gotten so mixed up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
