The toilet paper thief



Photobucket

I bet you think this is going to be a story about someone stealing toilet paper. Or maybe someone using all the toilet paper and not replacing it. Nope. But it is about toilet paper.

A man in Lincoln Nebraska decided he wanted to rob a local convenience store. Of course to do that he needed a disguise. What could be better than toilet paper to disguise your identity right?

He wrapped his head in the toilet paper, armed himself with a knife and robbed the store on Saturday night. He then ran away on foot with his loot. He hasn't been captured yet. You would think they could follow his paper trail...

That was considerate...

Sadly, these days home invasions occur more and more. Burglers force themselves into your home and take what they want. Often, those criminals have no concern for your well being. Many times people die. That wasn't the case in Indianapolis this morning.

An 18 year old accused of breaking into a home there heard a baby crying while he was in the process of robbing the home. He then made a bottle for the baby, warmed it up in the microwave and gave it to a child in the home to give to the baby.

The story I read said that the boy is being "held on charges of burglary, robbery, criminal confinement and pointing a firearm." While those are serious charges, I can't help but think that this boy is not a hardened criminal. At least not yet. Hopefully this will be a wake up call to him and the people in his life and his road to becoming a hardened criminal will end now.
