Yeah, so a man lives in this Pennsylvania Family's attic for several days, and they didn't even notice.

I always find these kind of news rather odd.
People that live in basements,attics,closets, etc,
but are never noticed...and we are talking about years here sometimes.
Very strange.

Given the information available, the thief simply moved into the attic from the neighboring duplex via a shared access point once his friends decided to kick him out. It's not that hard to avoid detection once you've established yourself in a residence, in a place rarely frequented by the tenants.

I take it you know from experience? :)

Weird, really.

It's really not that hard. Katganistan hasn't found me yet. :D

Detection avoidance is something I learned at an early age. It is very possible to walk across someone's line of sight, as well as right up behind them, without registering your presence on their consciousness.

NAS, Ninjutsu Master!

To be serious, this guy is facing serious time.

he was wearing my daughter's pants and my sweat shirt and sneakers," homeowner Stacy Ferrance said.

well this is kind of hot...in a weird way

Katganistan hasn't found me yet. :D

then how do you explain waking up in a gimp suit with the The Revels mysteriously playing?

lol wut :D

lol wut :D

That was my initial reaction too.

Really??
And here I thought he only had to follow the trail of pie and taco crumbs. ,)

And I thought that noise was the ceiling cat...

the guy seems just a tad crazy.

I can remember a story from Japan where a guy had a woman living in his closet (I think) for months without him noticing.

Or he's the ultimate freeloader.

Didn't something like this happen in Japan not too long ago? I seem to recall that in that case it was a woman living inside the closet of a residence.

Joke's on you. I was up in the attic a week ago.....





And left you milk, cookies, and tacos. :D

Yeah, just a tad. Gosh, I wonder why his friends (the neighbors) kicked him out in the first place. Could it have been his penchant for stealing their stuff and wearing their underwear?

Stories like this are so weird and so creepy. It makes me support that fung shui rule that says you should have no unused "dead" spaces in your home because negative stuff can accumulate in them. Case in point.

Case in point, 20 somethings that are messed up in the head who live in your attic.

Seriously. I don't want any crazy men in my attic, unless I'm the one who stuck them up there.

Damn! Back to the drawing board... :p

But he could've been the family pet!

make your own damn shoes :mad:

did you think he put womens clothes on voluntarily?

did you think he put womens clothes on voluntarily?
He could have. Now, if he had also been found wearing foam antlers and something tinsely, I'd suspect pet-treatment.

Police said the 21-year-old Carter had been staying with his friends, who are Ferrance's neighbors in a duplex. But when they told him to leave, he apparently accessed the shared attic through a trap door in a bedroom ceiling.

The friends said Carter went missing on Dec. 19 and they filed a missing person report a few days before Christmas.
so they asked him to leave... then when he does they file a missing person report?!? :confused:

I'm pretty sure this turned out to be a hoax, but....

Yeah, something like a year or so, I think.

then how do you explain waking up in a gimp suit with the The Revels mysteriously playing?

That's how I fell asleep. I was just drunk and kind of foggy on the details. *nod*
