Althouse: "A naked man broke into a Downtown apartment... a white man in his late 30s to early 40s, about 6 feet, 2 inches tall, very skinny and very tanned."

September 3, 2019

"A naked man broke into a Downtown apartment... a white man in his late 30s to early 40s, about 6 feet, 2 inches tall, very skinny and very tanned."

From "Naked burglar awakens Downtown resident, steals cash, Madison police say" (Wisconsin State Journal).

Why would you commit burglary naked? This happened at 6:15 a.m. Sunrise was 6:24, so it was already light out. The resident was asleep, and "When the naked man woke the resident, he told the resident he just wanted to wake him up." Naked man then asked for cash and got it. I note that with a naked man, you can see that he doesn't have a weapon and that he's not really mentally with it. Would you give him cash?

At the point when you wake up to a naked man in your house, not a crime scene is no longer an option. Your choice relates to how messy a crime scene it is, and the level of police involvement.; 9/3/19, 10:29 AM

Dust Bunny Queen said...: Would you give him cash?

(reposted to fix egregious errors)

I would make up a story about where my purse is at and tell him: "OK, you stay here.... I'll be right back"

Then just scamper out the door, half naked because that is how I sleep.

Then when I run to the neighbors, they will probably assume I am the crazy one, they will play along and call the police. I am ultimately arrested for being crazy and naked at the neighbor's house. When I tell the police about the naked man in my house, who is probably gone by now, I will get put into a padded observation room....for my own safety.

So. Nah. I should have shot him.; 9/3/19, 10:30 AM

Late one winter night, I was in the living room watching a movie when I heard someone knocking on the window. The Venetian blinds were down but not closed, so I could see a person was out there but I didn't have a clear view of him. He said, "Please help me. Please let me in. I'm in trouble." "I'm not going to let a naked stranger in," I said. "I'll call the police and they can help you." He said, "Don't do that. I don't have any clothes on. It's a long story." I said, "I'll call the cops." I called the cops (who either thought it was a prank call or not worth investigating, because they never showed) and while I was on the phone, the guy ran off.

He could have been a perfectly innocent guy in some sort of weird and unfortunate situation, but I wasn't taking any chances.; 9/3/19, 11:18 AM

"My advice is, have alternatives to the nuclear option."

Funny. I live in a rather safe part of a city with considerable crime. The one time I just plain forgot to lock the front door after me, I was alerted to my failure three hours later: The stranger in my dining room seemed taken aback when I demanded to know what he was doing there, and roared at him to get out.

Only after I'd backed him out the front door and down the steps did I realize, he wasn't an intruder. Not by intention, anyway. He didn't want anything from us. He was drunk, and thought he'd just walked into his friend's house. (He was off by several miles.)

Anyway, it got me thinking afterward. I could have killed him. If I'd thought I had to, I would have. But it just wasn't necessary, so I'm glad I didn't.; 9/3/19, 6:15 PM
