Slumber Party!


Man finds cold intruder in bed with him
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Police say a man broke into a Pittsburgh home and climbed into bed with its owner, apparently because he was drunk and cold following a rap concert.

Homeowner Frank Fontana says he was in bed when the man climbed in about 5:30 Wednesday morning. Fontana says he asked whether it was a woman who has keys to his home — and he grabbed a baseball bat when a deep male voice answered, “No, it’s not.”

Police say Fontana kept the man at bay until police arrived but didn’t hit him with the bat.

Police say the intruder told them he was looking for shelter after a Tuesday night concert by rapper Jay-Z at the Mellon Arena.

The 33-year-old man faces a preliminary hearing on charges of criminal mischief and criminal trespass.

This is what is wrong with America. Back in the day everyone was all about hospitality. If you'd had a long nite of driving and needed a place to saty you could knock on a stranger's door and they would open their home to you. Then everyone lost that hospitable feeling. So when you get a little too drunk at a Jay Z show and want to get out the cold noone is there to do you any favors. Take me back to the good old days.

P.S. - In all honesty, how creeped out would you have been when you heard the deep voice say no? I would have crapped my pants and ran out of the room shrieking.
