My local newspaper, The Naples Daily News, reports
A woman was arrested on burglary charges after being found standing in a person’s garage naked with items loaded in the back of a truck, Collier County sheriff’s deputies say.
Amber Marie Welsh, 32, of the 1700 block of Sunshine Boulevard, Golden Gate, was arrested Thursday by deputies in the 3600 block of White Boulevard.
When deputies arrived, they said they found Welsh standing naked in the victim’s garage next to a dark gray F-150 pickup truck that was backing inside and the bed of the truck was full of items.
According to reports, the victim was present at the time of the investigation and stated that the items, totaling $1,500, in the bed of the truck belonged to them and did not give permission for the items to be removed.
Welsh told deputies she was hired by the home’s owner to clean and remove all of the property from the house.
The reports did not explain why Welsh was naked inside the garage nor did it describe the items that were stolen.
Welsh faces charges of burglary and grand theft.
And we will never learn the explanation for the alleged thief’s state of undress, and whether she planned to make her getaway in that state. Not that anyone would have noticed.
One day I was going for my morning walk on the deserted beach when a young man (and not even a German) asked me if anyone would mind his skinny-dipping in the Gulf. I said I had no objections, but he might consider the security cameras on the houses facing the beach.
Is there something about Germans and skinny dipping you forgot to explain?
Nudity is a SFL thing, I suppose.
My bright naive young daughter attended New College of USF in Sarasota, where freshman orientation included a nude slip-n-slide in peanut oil on the lawn right in beside Hwy 1 and the campus physician advising them, “You can do drugs, if you do so responsibly.” This convinced her she didn’t belong or want to belong. In fact, she determined to leave immediately and get ALL her money back. As she was getting her parking permit refund, the campus cop said, “At least someone around here has got some sense.”
I was never so proud of her.
Sibyl, I congratulate you for raising such a wise daughter.
Are there just too many people destroying their minds with drugs in south Florida? Will modesty ever make a comeback?
Germans are devoted to FKK – Freikörperkultur. We were in Croatia once and saw a German couple take out their sailboat, They were in the altogether and were sitting on the boat railing. They probable amounted to 500 pounds together, and presented a powerful aesthetic argument for clothing.
With regards to the nakedness of the German couple providing a powerful aesthetic argument for clothing, the words of a wise mentor come to mind: “Those who shouldn’t, do; and those who should, don’t”.
