Long Drop

Monday, May 9th, 2005 • Filed under Cars

A place called Cartrian, owned by a former police chief, housed his collection of vintage Cars and his Lionel Train collection, all heavily insured. Besides having all the doors and windows censored, the place also had a fire detection system (due to the value of the collection) and this was deemed adequate by all concerned parties, until a burglar entered the place through a small vent on the roof. Now this ceiling is some 20 feet above the floor, so the burglar, naturally, took a nasty fall. This was more then enough for our valiant friend and proceeded to try every door in an attempt to escape his humiliation. Nope, every door was locked. So, he set off the fire alarm and was arrested when the fire department arrived. When the security guy arrived the next day (to censor the vents and add motion detectors) they were still cleaning it all up. It seems he left a trail of blood: all over the car he landed in and from door to door to door as he hobbled along trying to escape.
