Editor's Notes
Mike Peters was surprised to see his window slide open and was positively shocked when he saw two strangers climb inside. What transpired next could only be described as a despicable act of thievery.
Mike watched with rapt fascination as the two thieves systematically began to remove the priceless Persian carpets, artwork, and jewels.
Having stripped the room, the thieves climbed back out of the window. Incredibly, Mike went back to what he had been doing before the thieves arrived and did not do anything after the incident occured.
