Brazen Fla. burglar grabs TV in double-steal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Police in Florida say a burglar who made off with a man's valuables returned to the home later and snatched what he couldn't carry on his first trip: a 100-pound plasma-screen TV.

A Pensacola Police investigator was on the scene when the robber came back hours after the first burglary.

The man who lived at the house, Steve Fluegge, says he was shocked the burglar came back and stole the television. The suspect had already stolen Fluegge's wallet, watch and video game system.

Police and K-9 units canvassed the neighborhood, but couldn't find the burglar or the TV.

Investigators had left the TV in the backyard, where the burglar put it, so they could dust for fingerprints.

Police have offered to pay for the TV.

I don't know who to hold more accountable: the cops for leaving the TV ouside, or the guy who took it. According to the AP, it was left in the backyard; was it in back by the trash? Maybe someone thought the guy was throwing it away... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Also, although the word is pronounced 'HOOTS-pa', the correct (or accepted) spelling is "chutzpah" (from the Yiddish), which translates variously as "insolence", "audacity", or "impertinence". In this case, it fits.....
