Intruder Alert

My friend, Nicole, had a scary incident happen to her on Thursday at lunchtime. She and her eighteen month old daughter were playing in their basement when Nicole heard a commotion coming from her garage. She thought it was maybe her father-in-law coming to drop some stuff off, but when she peeked outside, she didn't see his truck. When she looked out the backdoor, she didn't see anything unusual. As she was turning to go back inside, she noticed the door to the garage was slightly open. She went outside to investigate...

Nicole slowly opened the door and didn't see anything amiss. That's when she saw feet sticking out from behind the garbage can. There was a guy laying on the floor of the garage, in between her daughter's bike carrier and the knocked over bin of recycling. Nicole called out, "Hello?" and, at this point, had no idea of this guy was dead or alive. She moved a little closer and could see that he was breathing, but was very unconcious. The bottle of vodka that was still clutched in his hand was further proof that he was passed out. Nicole high tailed back inside and phoned the police.

The RCMP were there in a matter of minutes. They cuffed the young man and began to question him as to where he lived. The poor sap was so drunk he had no idea. A search through his wallet showed that he was from the area. Supposedly, he was a left over product from all the grad celebrations that are going on. The police said they couldn't really press charges for breaking and entering (which makes no sense to me) and that they would drop him off at home. I hope the cops tell his parents that he was found passed out in a woman's garage and that he emptied most of his vodka into her child's bike carrier. I also hope that his parents deal justly with him, but in this day and age you just never know. They may have been the ones to buy him the alcohol in the first place.
