Every Thursday it’s a weekly tradition to head over to my mom’s home to have dinner and watch whatever is on the television. Lately it’s been truTV and their Smoking Gun. It’s a show that makes everyone feel better an provides tons of laughs.

I get a text message from my wife about my mother-in-law(MiL) leaving in a huff and speeding away in her Jeep without mentioning where she was going. Melissa had no clue what was going on and neither did anyone else. It only felt weirder when no one, not Melissa or her brother Jon, couldn’t reach her on her mobile phone.
Let’s cut to later that night when I finally got to talk to Melissa. She fills in the rest of the story. What happened was when MiL got home, there was a truck parked out front of our house. MiL being MiL, decided that she had to call Jon, read off the license number, “in case anything happens.” She’s doing this while checking the mail in guise of actually making sure the truck isn’t the property of somebody who will come back and rob us clean.
The truck leaves.
MiL runs to the door to ring the bell to get someone to help her while she goes all Starsky and Hutch and drives off after them. She’s on the phone calling the cops. Talking about how there was someone who she thought was possibly casing the house to rob later. She’s chasing the truck, their both going about 50 down a 35. The cops, there are multiple cars here and a helicopter, start in on the chase too. Unfortunately, for MiL, she’s the one who’s being pulled over.
The other vehicle was getting freaked out by the lady in the Jeep and called the cops too.
There are two cop cars when she was pulled over and a helicopter. They called in a supervisor to explain to MiL that you can’t chase someone who you might think was doing something bad. If you see them take a child or commit a crime, yes. Park in front of your house while on the phone, no.
This makes finding someone who broke into your house passed out on the couch seem a little tame doesn’t it?

It’s been a strange morning. Sleep was normal, nothing that would cause tossing & turning. Then my sister woke me up this morning in a slight hysterics about a guy asleep on the couch. Someone broke into the house last night… He broke in, smashing the frame of the door. Then he passed out on the couch.
My sister woke up the guy. When he woke up, he was surprised where he was, very sorry about what had happened. He was looking for his shoes, watch and glasses. Outside in the back, the furniture stuff was tossed all around. There’s a good chance that he was drunk, angry that what he thought was his home was locked and he started to throw a fit. He broke the door down. He removed all articles on his person and placed on the desk before crashing out on the couch.
The cops were called the record the event and take away our visitor. Since it was early in the morning, there was seven cops cars waiting outside. It almost made me wish that I had meat in the fridge so I could place it on the BBQ for them to have something to eat. I’d offer beer but at 6 a.m., I really couldn’t see anyone wanting a beer that early. The college kids next door, yes, cops no.
It’s a strange way to start the morning.

This made me laugh a lot harder than it should have.
