Man Loses $7,600 When Thief Swipes Pants
BRADSHAW, W.Va. - Bascom Horn lost his pants — and $7,600 — as he slept.
Someone slipped into the 86-year-old man's house through an unlocked door Wednesday and stole his pants and the cash he had stashed in a pocket.
"I took my britches off and put them on the chair when I went to bed last night," Horn said. "They was there last night at 10 p.m., but when I woke up at 7 a.m., my britches were gone. I had $7,600 in there. They took my pocketbook and my operator's license too."
Horn's house sits along the West Virginia-Virginia border, so he called both the West Virginia State Police and Buchanan County, Va., sheriff's department.
A report by Buchanan County Deputy Steve Blankenship said Horn had apparently left a door unlocked so someone could come in and clean his house.

If Gran'pa is gonna be that trustin' to keep his door unlocked in this day and time, he might wanna try the "Deebo-Dirty-Draws" approach when havin' his pants out like that. I bet that nobody else would touch his britches (unless Smokey lives in his neighborhood).
