Burgled
“I’m getting tired of being burgled.”
“Again?”
“AGAIN! Ten days away and I came home to find a muddy footprint in the hall. Looked around the corner and the drawers were all pulled out and contents strewn all over the floor.”
“NO! How did they get in?”
“Levered the glass sliding door with a screwdriver, it shattered and they unlocked it from there. Like they did with the car last year.”
“Anything taken?”
“A fair amount of cash left on the table I intended to bank on return, and…”
“And…?”
“Some gold bars.”
“Big?”
“Not so small so as to just dismiss them. And then four hours with the police dusting and photographing and questioning and writing reports. And the final indignity at the end. They fingerprinted me. All my fingers! And TOES too.!”

New Zealand and Finland have the second and third highest crime rates in the world, with 105.8 and 101.5 crimes per thousand people respectively (Dominica currently tops the list, compiled by the UN Survey on Criminal Trends.) New Zealand is also the second least corrupt country in the world, topped only by. . . Finland (Transparency International). Meanwhile in the struggle to rise up through the world’s crime league, Japanese burglars have ceased the practice of removing their shoes before entering homes. This important cultural change ensued after an intruder was disturbed in the middle of his crime and fled the scene, leaving his shoes outside the door – which conveniently for the police had his name and address written inside them.
