FORT MYERS, FL- A Fort Myers man wakes up early in the morning and remembers he left expensive tools in his SUV. He goes out to lock it and finds a man sitting in it.
Fort Myers resident Hank Free says,"The door was open like this, and he was in there, and I came around here and I really surprised him."
Free says he was surprised too. It was 2:30 in the morning and a stranger was sitting in his SUV.
"I said what are you doing in my truck."
Deputies say 19 year old Austin Yeomans, clutching a bag of burglary tools, begged Free to let him free saying that he lives just down the street.
Free says, "He tried to jump out and I shoved him back into the car."
He grabbed his appropriately labeled NRA knife sitting on the dashboard.
"It's got the second amendment on it where we have the right to bear arms. I said if you try to get out, I'm going to stick you, so he stayed there. The funny part is that all I had on was my underwear so I was holding him at bay with this little tiny knife, and I said, now what am I going to do."
What was the burglar doing in the man’s underwear?
LOL. You beat me to it.
“Is that a knife pointing in your underwear, or are you happy to see me?”
In the event of a home break-in, or in this case an auto break-in, the last thing on my mind would be to put on a pair of pants.
“I was holding him at bay with this little, tiny knife...”
Freudian slip?
or are you glad to see me.
Being in his skivvies probably enhanced his scariness for the would be SUV thief. I had a personal experience with that sort of situation long ago and I had a lo-o-o-ng Damascus curved sword(an original) when the fellow at my window looked up. I was also in a hanging-open army field jacket, boxers and unlaced jungle boots. I didn’t get close enough to him to actually do any damage. He just sort of disappeared.
Who’s in the underwear? Perp or victim. Antecedent please!
I chased a raccoon in my pajamas last night . . . how it got in my pajamas is beyond me.
I thought the knife point was in his underwear.
“Whos in the underwear? Perp or victim. Antecedent please!
I thought the knife point was in his underwear.”
In whose underwear, the perp or the raccoon’s?
Wait! Wasn't it an elephant in Groucho Marx' underwear?
Thank goodness you posted that! (Keeps me from being more hated!)
“In whose underwear, the perp or the raccoons?
Wait! Wasn’t it an elephant in Groucho Marx’ underwear?”
Now I forgot the theme of this posting!
Sounds like a future TSA agent to me...
There was a knife point in his underwear?
That's not a knife.
THIS is a knife.
Was the victim or the perp in his underwear? Don’t they teach English Composition 101 in Journalism schools anymore?
Were you in your underwear last week when the backyard prowler came around?
I don't know about you, but the knife pointing in my underwear is HUGE!
