Worst burglary excuse ever -- 'I'm a realtor'

Hey, America! Were you born 30 seconds ago but are somehow able to read? Did you spend the last year in an impenetrable vacuum? Do you close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and go "LALALALALA" every time you turn on the TV?

If so, I have some breaking news from the Dept. of Duh just for you: The economy stinks. Big time. (You're welcome.)

People are getting hosed left and right - especially in the real estate market.

But, according to police in Oregon, one realtor in particular has been adding insult to injury by helping himself to homeowners' sweet, sweet booze, KATU.com reports.

And that's not all - police say sometimes the guy takes toiletries and brings a date along.

Ummm ... Worst. First date. Ever?

Hey baby! Welcome home!

Anyway, police told KATU that Michael "The Ladies' Man" Messmer was caught red-handed with a White Russian when one of the homeowners returned from a business trip.

Surpriiiiiiise!

When the homeowner asked what he was doing there, police said Messmer simply replied, "I'm a realtor."

Oh. OK. Well, that explains it then. Can I get you another cocktail? Borrow my slippers, perhaps? Sit in my comfy chair? Mi casa es su casa, Mike!

The homeowner told police Messmer, who was in the home with a woman, proceeded to pick up a pre-packed box of the homeowner's stuff and mosey on out of the house.

A few days later, police said Messmer was discovered in another home in a nearby city.

That time, he allegedly took off with shaving cream and air freshener.

... Yeah.

We think it's kind of sweet, really, that he was able to get all gussied up for his mug shot.

Police have charged him with first-degree burglary and second-degree theft.

Back in 1988, I had my house up for sale with ReMax and I came home to find my Realtor locked in my bedroom with is girlfriend (mind you, he was married). They slept in my bed and took a shower (I found "evidence" in my shower...evidence that it wasn't me: I have red hair...the girlfriend didn't). It was gross to say the least. I turned him in to the HAR and we did go in for a hearing and it went on his record and he had to go to ethics class which also showed on his record. I don't know if he's still a Realtor. I hope not.
