The Bottom Rung of Crime
An unidentified man in Manchester, England, called police when he noticed a ladder had been tilted up against his window at 11:30 p.m. As he was on the phone to 999 dispatchers, he peeked out his window and saw two men getting ready to climb up to his window — but they stopped to talk first. The man opened his window and quickly pulled the ladder in, giving them nothing to climb. Police are looking for the men.
