Burglars call 911 to get help moving stuff

Two people in Florida were arrested after one of them made a 911 call to get help with moving their belongings from a home they were burglarizing, authorities said.

Deputies responded to a home Saturday after a 911 call was made but nobody spoke, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said. At the home, the deputies concluded that nobody lived there, but they found a male suspect and his girlfriend inside the home after entering it through an unlocked door.

Deputies had been searching for the male suspect after identifying him from security video as a burglar at a Dollar General store in Poinciana, Florida, where several items were stolen earlier in the day, the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Poinciana is about 35 miles (55 kilometers) south of Orlando.

While talking to deputies, the female suspect told them that she had called 911 for the purpose of having law enforcement help them move their belongings from the house they were burglarizing. They also wanted to get a ride to the airport so they could spend the weekend in New York, the sheriff’s office said.

“Deputies DID help them with their belongings, and DID give them a ride, but it wasn’t to the airport … it was to the Polk Pokey,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. “And they are welcome to stay there all weekend long. The Polk Pokey is much better than New York anyway.”

The male suspect was charged with burglary and theft related to the store and also burglary of a residence. The female suspect was charged with burglary of a residence, according to the sheriff’s office.

Can you believe it?

 


 
 
Cookies in the Oven



It started years ago when my Grandhunk #3 was little . He complained about something he couldn't do yet. I told him (and WW and so many of my students over the years), "You're a cookie in the oven, you're not done yet.

The kicker is GH#3 looked up at me and said, "How about you Grandma, are you done yet? I responded, "I'm getting pretty crisp around the edges."

"... getting pretty crisp around the edges" expresses to wonderfully what happens to us when getting older. Lovely story, Jacki. How lucky we are when there are such stories we can remember.
"Torn" is excellent!
Wishing you a happy weekend.

Were you thinking of war torn or paper torn? Maybe both? I love trying to figure out what you were thinking. :-)
