House Call

January 18, 2010

A woman in Columbia, Missouri woke up at 5:45 am and heard noises in her basement.  Walking through her kitchen, she noticed that several cabinets were opened.  After turning on a light, she noticed a stranger trying to hide behind the water heater.  The person then walked past her and disappeared into the dark.  The homeowner called the police, and while they searched for clues, they discovered a cell phone in the backyard.  They traced the phone to its owner, John Lovell, and arrested him on suspicion of first-degree burglary and stealing. 


John Lovell thought he’d get away with it all
But prison is now more likely in the long haul
His cell phone he forgot
That helped him get caught
Now justice is served, ‘cause of a dropped call
