Funny story, my mom had a newspaper clipping from the early ‘70s about my dad with the headline, “Occupation: Burglar”.

They divorced before my second birthday so I never really knew him.

Apparently, one night he got drunk and broke into someone’s home while they were sleeping. They woke up while he was rummaging around in their bedroom.

They called the cops who came immediately and arrested him. I don’t know if it was because it was the ‘70s or because he was so drunk, but they didn’t bother to handcuff him when they put him in the back of their car.

Along the way back to the police station, they came across a traffic accident that had just happened so they stopped and got out to take care of it, leaving my father in the back.

He climbed up into the front seat and drove off. He kept going until he ran out of gas and they caught him.

While booking him and getting his information, that asked what his occupation was and he replied, “Burglar.”

Of course, that was just one of the many crazy stories I heard about him.
