Burglars! Oh no, even worse... Neighbours!

[OwlHoot]

Are you sure they haven't hacked up another member of Mi6 and stuck him in said bag?

They reckon that guy in Pimplico might have been a professional assassination, by some foreign intelligence service

What on Earth could have prompted that? The only thing I can think of is an attempt to "turn" him went pear shaped.

I just came in and there was a large suitcase standing in the hall outside the ground floor front. As I'm sure we all know, burglars will often use luggage they find on the premises they're burgling to pack stuff up, ready for a quick getaway, so I viewed this anomalous portmanteau with some concern.

I had a quick glance at the doors of the two downstairs flats and they showed no signs of damage. Heading upstairs to my own abode, everything seemed OK.

However, just as I entered my flat, I heard movement below. Suspecting that some miscreant might have concealed himself (it's usually a he) within one of the flats below and was now about to make off with whatever stolen property he had garnered, I went back down to apprehend them in the act

The male component of the couple downstairs was reaching out of the door, naked except for a towel around his waist, trying to drag the suitcase back into the flat. He looked at me sheepishly.

"Oh, hi, sorry, I was just wondering why this was in the hall," says I.

"Yeah, it's the Missus's," he replied, nodding at me with one of those "You know how it is" expressions but getting even more sheepish as he tried to keep the towel in situ with one hand whilst still keeping control of the suitcase, which was steering badly.

At least they aren't shouting the house down and slamming doors continuously this time, although there's the odd bit of moderately loud door-closing going on from time to time. They're a very nice couple to have as neighbours apart from these random occasions when they have a massive row.

Ho hum

If being full of sh it were wit, then you'd be the funniest poster around.

If tulip were wit you'd still be a turd

MF, you are a phunny phucker at times, but you've let your sockie out the bag as well.

It never occurred to you it could be a bomb? You should've raised the alarm and had the building evacuated without delay!

Good call!!

It looks like a crime has been committed IRL and instead of doing the right thing & phoning the police Nick went back to his virtual world and posted it online. I if someone left a 'suitcase' in WOW he's be all over the moderator button!!!

Ho hum

Now you have to ask yourself why it's gone quiet.

3am in the morning.
Large suitcase outside in the hall
Man in a towel (probably just had a shower)
Suspicious behaviour
Missing girlfriend.

It's a good job you don't have a track record for jumping to conclusions!
