So, let’s say that you are a burglar. You break into homes and steal things. What’s your biggest concern? Getting caught.
Which explains why a burglar took off running when two patrolmen stopped him for questioning on the street in a North Jersey town recently following a reported break-in.
He ran a block or two, vaulted a fence, and hid under a blue tarp covering a boat in a backyard.
However, it is unlikely that he could have chosen a less suitable hiding place. First, the dog that lived at the house began barking at him. Second, the dog’s owner was at home. Third, the dog’s owner was a police captain in that town.
The burglar was taken into custody.
The dog, somewhat ironically named Bandit, was given a hero’s treatment in the local news. But, really, he was just being a dog. And the burglar was just being another dumb crook.
