Ted booked a week off, and he had planned to travel somewhere during that time, but he decided on a staycation instead.
But he forgot to remove the Facebook and Twitter announcements about his plans.
Burglars had read these posts, and planned to rob Ted’s place.
Instead, Ted shot the burglars as they broke in.
It was all very exciting, from the attack to his eventual exoneration by the district attorney. Better than any vacation than he’d ever had.
So, when his friends needed a house sitter, he volunteered and brought his guns.
And had them post about their vacation.
