haha

crazy world lol.

I actually bitch about this all the time but my neighbor had a house full of stolen chit (including a bigscreen TV) and when she was robbed she was frantically begging the cops to take fingerprints to catch the SOB that took her stuff. LOL

I just can't help but laugh at the irony of it all.  She was also doubly p'd off when the cops asked her for a receipt and she told them they should GET OUT and mind their business!!
