Things that go bump in the couch

Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get you hiding inside your furniture:

Police say a New York man cut a hole in a woman's couch and hid in the carved-out space until she came home. Newburgh police said the woman sat on the couch Wednesday evening and felt a bump in the cushions move.

She jumped up and David Joe Limones emerged from his hiding place, knocking a cell phone out of her hand.

The woman was on the phone with a friend when she entered her apartment because she had filed an earlier complaint against Limones and was worried he might be there. Police said she had asked the friend to stay on the line and call police if something went wrong.

Well, that turns out to have been a pretty good plan, huh?

When officers arrived, they found Limones and the 22-year-old woman arguing on the apartment's balcony.

You mean he went to all that trouble just to argue with her? I'm not saying he should have done something worse to her, it's just that people like that usually do. I'm just saying is all.
