Side Note: Being Burgled

Hilarious. Frustrating, but hilarious.

There he is, the little burglar, which my game slows down for so I'll know he's there even though my sim is sleeping. He creeps up to Jericho's messed-up house. Meantime I'm frantically trying to wake Jericho in the hope that I can chase off the bad guy. I mean, he's got full body points. Heck, he's even still in the Law Enforcement career.

Ha! Lotta good that did me. I had Jericho run up to the only door in and try to block it. Instead, he and the burglar stood side by side: Jericho hummed a little tune and swayed, and the burglar cackled evilly and rubbed his hands (or some such reaction).

"Haha," he thinks to himself. "I will now steal this fun sim game, and this ugly but useful bookcase... and this rather cheap chair and table... Muahaha!" Burglar-sim now runs right past the thousand dollar bed, up out the door, to the sidewalk while Stupid-Jericho-Sim, apparently befuddled by sleepiness, calmly walks back down to the basement to clean some dishes. But wait! In his mad dash to escape, Burglar-sim notes that he passed a single lawn chair sitting in the cold, retail value approximately two buttons and a ball of string. He must have it! So back he goes to the house, swipes the chair, and THEN runs off the lot to the tune of "nanner-nanner-boo-boo." Now that he's gone, Jericho emerges from his dazed state to whine about his poor missing objects.

Morons. Both of them.
