man snuck into home while owner was taking out the trash, hid under bed for 3 days

A would-be burglar sneaked into a New Jersey home while the owner was taking out the trash, ducked under a spare bed when the owner returned and stayed there for three days, police said.

The man, identified as Jason Hubbard, remained in the Middlesex County jail Wednesday in lieu of $50,000 bail on charges of burglary, criminal trespass and theft of services (electric current). That last count was lodged because he allegedly charged the four cellphones he was carrying on an electric outlet under the bed.

Police in the small town of Spotswood, N.J., said Hubbard "remained living under the bed in the spare bedroom" until the homeowner heard a noise — three days later.

1. My bed is a futon, very low to the ground

Anybody who fit underneath it would have to be so skinny I'd feed him before I did anything else, like call the cops.

3. or as punishment

make him sleep on it for a few days. LOL

My wife thought we needed one in my computer room so we go get one, Said I'd appreciate a place to lay down during the day when I felt a nap coming on but I'm here to say that was the most uncomfortable thing, short of a rock pile, I ever tried to take a nap on. needless to say it was gone within a couple weeks. All this one was good for was taking up space. LOL

4. It's more like a brick wrapped in cotton

and if I try to sleep on a conventional bed for more than 3 days, I start having a lot of trouble walking.

To each his own. I want to stay out of a wheel chair as long as possible, so I'll keep my brick wrapped in cotton.

13. I've had a similar experience with my pillow.

It's a pretty hard foam pillow. A brick wrapped in cotton. But I sleep much better on it than on a soft pillow.

Plus, I'm sure I'd win any pillow fight I might get involved in.

6. There are different thicknesses for futon mattresses.

We bought two, one to put in the family room and one to put in the office and they are VERY comfortable. But they're nice and thick, too.

5. You just know he peed his pants.

9. That movie gave me the major creeps as a kid!

My friends and I all tried to figure out if we had hidden areas behind our shelves.

8. Yes. Yes, I did. Check under my beds before posting a reply.

I left today without locking the back door.

10. That theft of service charge will cost him.

12. A baby bird snuck into my house when I took out the trash the other day

last week. It ran in just as my storm door was closing. I freaked out! Thank God it couldn't fly, but it moved extremely fast! While inside, it's mom(? ) kept peeking in the window above my front door. Everyone kept advising me to pick the bird up and take it back outside, but I didn't want to touch it. My brother had to come remove it. Luckily, after the initial scurrying around that occurred during my screams, the bird stayed still as a statue and did not shit on my carpet. The entire ordeal lasted about an hour. Still, I felt violated and can only imagine how that homeowner felt after discovering a person was squatting in his house.

14. I'm betting the carpet under that bed will need replaced.

After 3 days I'm surprised it was a noise that got the homeowner's attention and not the stink coming out from under the bed.

Either that or the burglar is a camel. Geesh.
