Now this one takes the cake ...

by Dale Burger


We got a call on Monday morning from Ed and Jean who wanted information about an alarm system. They sounded desperate so I immediately went to visit them. Ed and Jean met me at the door and as I entered the home I asked if they had just bought the house. They shook their heads and told me their story.


They had lived in this house for the past eleven years. That weekend they went out of town to their Son's college graduation. When they came home their next door neighbors were outside and surprised to see them. The neighbors thought they had moved away without saying goodbye.


When Ed asked why would they think that, the neighbors replied, 'Because of the moving van.'

While they were gone a moving van pulled into their driveway. Four big guys got out of the truck and started loading all the contents of the house into the moving van. They worked hard for hours and the neighbors had even given them iced tea.



The house was completely emptied. All the food, dirty laundry, even the rags in the garage, everything just gone. Jean said they even took the dirty dishes out of the dishwasher, and the Cake from the Fridge.
