Okay, I found the story I had seen because I'm finding it hard to believe there are two of them. Mine was from about 2 months ago.

Did Colin leave home at some point? yes Did Colin go somewhere, like the store or work? I can't remember. I think he just went for a walk Or was he simply outside? assume he's just out for a walk Was Colin "home" when Robbie broke in? no Also, this really threw me "but more likely to be M than F" - 911 operators are actually predominately female. Sorry, I was thinking of him calling the police directly, and police are predominantly male. But realistically, you're probably right, he probably did call 911. Vesica, I just Googled "robber calls cops from bathroom" and the first several stories that came up are basically it (Robber name = Chapek), although some of the details (including the exact order of events) are different from the way I heard it (which is not surprising, given that my source was a comedic news quiz). I'm not sure why I didn't think to look up the robber's name before for you to compare. This puzzle is based on the way I heard and remember the story, not the sequence of events that are written in those news stories online, but it's very similar. Obviously, no one else use Google on this one! | ||

I feel the need for a RECAP: Colin left home and went for a walk. Meanwhile, Robbie broke into Colin's home. Robbie saw Colin walking up the drive when he returned from his walk. He became afraid (only yopishly of Colin), thought he was in danger, locked himself in the bathroom, and called the police. Colin had not threatened Robbie in any way, and Robbie was not trying to make sure the police would know what had happened if he were shot by Colin. He was not stuck in the bathroom or in a window. He never tried to escape the bathroom. The room he was in is irrelevant as long as whatever room it was could be locked from the inside. Colin arrived at his home and discovered Robbie; however, he never saw Robbie. Robbie was in the apartment in the bathroom at the time (but...). Colin called the police to report Robbie as an intruder, and was surprised at their reply. The police already knew about the break-in because Robbie had already called. My earlier difficulties with answering questions related to the timing of Colin arriving home stemmed from the fact that there are two separate, relevant events that could be described as arriving home: first Colin is seen on the sidewalk approaching the building, then Colin arrives at his actual front door. Based on this recap, there are only a few pieces of missing information in the puzzle(so you're close to finished), but I'd say one of the missing pieces is still a pretty big leap. | ||

was there some other evidence outside the bathroom? had he left the lights on? the TV? the radio? did Colin see the bathroom light shining under the door? did Colin hear him? making the call? this one! did Robbie use the house phone to call and Colin could see another handset flashing? ****** SPOILER ****** Robbie broke into Colin's apartment while Colin was out. Colin returned while Robbie was still there. Robbie saw Colin walking up the side walk with two very large German shepherds and panicked. Robbie locked himself in the bathroom and called the police. Colin arrived at the front door of his house and heard a voice - he overheard Robbie, who was still on the phone with the police! Concerned about the unexpected voice in his house, Colin called the police to report an intruder. He was quite surprised when they more or less replied, "yeah, we know," having already received Robbie's panicked call from the bathroom. Ok, so that's the version I was using, which was probably distorted twice -- once by the comedians on the program I heard it on, and once by the fact that I was going from memory of something I head heard several days before. It turns out that in the real story, "Robbie" is perhaps even more of an idiot than he was in this puzzle. Two key differences are: 1. He was in the bathroom for a specific reason, which is that he decided to take a shower while he was there! 2. He wasn't just afraid of the dogs. He made the somewhat dubious lateral leap that a man with two German shepherds must also have a gun, so he called the police not because of his fear of the dogs directly, but because he was afraid of the gun that he assumed Colin must be carrying. Either way, it's a funny story, and I'm looking forward to the recordings that Vesica has a link to. Vesica - given how much you like obscure news, if you don't already listen to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me," you should give it a try. It's available as a free podcast.

It's not in this report, but my favorite part of this story is where "Robbie" claims he was kidnapped by Mexicans who put him in the shower. Because yeah... | ||

Haha, I totally missed the detail* before that "Colin" was actually a woman. The real story just gets funnier and funnier! (*one detail among many, it seems, but hey, it's my puzzle so the story can go however I want it to go =) ) I'd love to hear his explanation of why Mexican kidnappers would put someone in another person's shower and then just leave him there... |
