The 'Rest' Is History...

Dear Ann Landers:

Consider this letter a payback for 45-plus years of great reading. I started

to read your column in 1955 when I lived in Chicago and continued to read it

when I moved to Kansas 10 years later. I think the following qualifies as

the stupid crook story of the year. No one could make this up. Please print

it. It was written by Dwight Jurgens and appeared in the Hutchinson, Kansas,

News. The headline was, " Wrong House, Wrong Bed. "

-- Joe the Schmo

Dear Joe:

Here's your contribution, for which I give you many thanks. You're right. No

one could make this up:

" Sometimes, it just doesn't pay to go to sleep. Or, maybe, wake up. Tuesday

morning, a 42-year-old rural woman woke up to find someone in her bed -- a

white male, asleep, dressed only in his underwear.

" 'It wasn't anyone she knew,' the County Sheriff's captain said. The woman

jumped out of bed, frisked through the man's clothes he left piled near her

bed, grabbed his wallet out of his pants pocket and ran next door to call

911.

" Deputies responded and rousted the 21-year-old home invader from what was

apparently a deep, deep, alcohol-aided sleep. The man told deputies he'd

been to a party earlier in the evening at a nearby residence. He said he met

an old friend who told him he was welcome to spend the night at her house.

" He said he knew where she lived, and when he left the party, he went to her

house, entered through the back door and went to sleep. Deputies told the

man he was in the wrong house, in the wrong bed with the wrong woman, and

would have to go to jail for investigation of criminal trespassing.

" He didn't understand that very well and kept saying, 'Why do I have to go

to jail? I didn't do anything wrong or cause any trouble. All I did was go

to sleep.' Reminded that he went to sleep in a house where the occupant

didn't know him, the man was carted off to jail. He was later released on a

$250 bond with a promise to appear in court later that morning. He failed to

appear.

" Nobody suggested checking other courtrooms. "
