Homeowner defends property without guns
« on: July 13, 2007, 10:37:01 AM »
One of the strangest stories Ive ever heard. The amazing part is that its true.

From the article.

Quote

WASHINGTON - A grand feast of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp was winding down, and a group of friends was sitting on the back patio of a Capitol Hill home, sipping red wine. Suddenly, a hooded man slid in through an open gate and put the barrel of a handgun to the head of a 14-year-old guest.

"Give me your money, or I'll start shooting," he demanded, according to D.C. police and witness accounts.

The five other guests, including the girls' parents, froze -- and then one spoke.

"We were just finishing dinner," Cristina "Cha Cha" Rowan, 43, blurted out. "Why don't you have a glass of wine with us?"

The intruder took a sip of their Chateau Malescot St-Exupéry and said, "Damn, that's good wine."

[...]
Then he tucked the gun into the pocket of his nylon sweatpants.

"I think I may have come to the wrong house," he said, looking around the patio of the home in the 1300 block of Constitution Avenue NE.

"I'm sorry," he told the group. "Can I get a hug?"

With that, the man walked out with a crystal wine glass in hand, filled with Chateau Malescot. No one was hurt, and nothing was stolen.


Nothing was stolen yet the Rowan house hold is shy one crystal glass.






snif... snif...

I smell BS

Sounds like a group of people wanted a good story to tell.

Cant be true. The homeowners did not have guns, so if the story was true they would have been dead. Just ask lazs :D

Sorry, didn't get to the very end... should have.

Amazing to me that a home intruder would think to wipe the glass of fingerprints and leave no evidence save the hugs and good feelings of the party goers.

If only we could do this on the world stage...

kum by ya... kum by ya...  I feel better already.  anybody need a hug?
