Nude Wet Meat Soil Bandit

Charles Stross, the science-fiction writer, posted this on his blog, and I couldn't resist. Though up front it's just another human-oddity story, it does illustrate perhaps just how strangely twisted the human mind can become:

I've been in police work for many years, and have worked some very odd cases; but nothing even approaching this level.

When Colt Langstaff returned to his home in Cool, California, on Monday, the first thing he noticed was that his garden fence had been knocked down, there was an unfamiliar pickup truck parked on his drive, and his personal belongings were scattered over his lawn.

The second thing he noticed was the naked man wrapped only in a sheet coming out of his backdoor. The naked gentleman asked Langstaff what he was doing there. Langstaff pointed out that is was his home, at which point the naked man ran away.

It was at that point that things began to get really strange.

I haven't actually read the whole article yet, but let's just say that you know there's a problem when the "really strange" part comes after the home invasion, personal belongings scattered on the lawn, and naked man wrapped in a sheet.

Just saying.

Technically, if he's wrapped in a sheet, he's not naked. Just saying. :D

Truly weird. Hunter S. Thompson would have been impressed.

Also, I love the style of the article:
Now, at this point, readers familiar with this type of crime will probably be asking themselves, 'hey, shouldn't there be teddy bears on plant stands as well?' You will be relieved to know that no fewer than three plant stands holding teddy bears were also discovered in the vicinity of the truck.

Well, he's naked under the sheet. Similarly, I'm naked under my clothes.

In fact, I'm naked right now! :p

I think that I shall start planning this evening what I shall do when I become gently unhinged.

This guy made a good effort, but I think I can do better.

The fact that all of the faucets in the house were running I find particularly fascinating. Perhaps he styled himself one of the "wet bandits" from the movie Home Alone?

Oh my gawd then I must be naked too! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
