Hard Luck

A woman asked the man with her to go home to get her cigarettes. With him out of the way, she asked a 54-year-old Crossville, Tenn., homeowner if she could use his swimming pool — without a suit. He agreed, so she stripped and swam. The homeowner stayed by the pool for the whole 20 minutes. When the woman dried, dressed, and left, he discovered his home had been stripped too: of some jewelry, some medications, and a gun. Now the police want the woman — and her companion — for questioning; they think he collected about $1,195 in loot while she kept the victim entertained. (AC/Crossville Chronicle) ...$1,195, and he didn’t even get a lap dance.
