TALES FROM MY HOOD: THE LIGHTER SIDE OF ‘CRIME”!
We are on a bit of a “crime roll” here so let’s move from horrific to humorous.
A few years ago when Dylan the Westie was the Westie of the house there lived B and W, backyard neighbours of Fay and Bob. W and B were heading up to their family cottage near Ottawa for a long weekend. W asked Bob to keep an eye on the house and if necessary, alert the police if there was any suspicious activity. No one was expected at the house. At the time there were a few break and enters in the hood.
At 21:00 hours Bob is in the kitchen and he looks at W and B’s kitchen and sees a man in an undershirt drinking a bottle of beer. He was unable to contact W and B so made the call to Toronto Police Services (TPS) to inform them of the “criminal in the kitchen”. With the utmost sense of urgency they show up at W and B’s house 3 hours after my call to them and confront the criminal.
The criminal happened to be B’s brother who had a key to the house and unexpectedly showed up for a cold beer and to watch a bit of television. TPS did, according to W, grill the hell out of the “criminal” and determined he was not a criminal but an unannounced house guest!
