I don't know whose house that is, but I think which insurance company to use is probably the least of their concerns. They also may want to consider playing the lottery with those stellar odds. Reply

I was initially surprised to see "explosions" included in the myriad of mayhem you need insurance against. Then I recalled my family's preoccupation with volatile substances and pyromania.. Reply

Hey, my cousin's house blew up. No lie. Propane leak. Luckily they were all out at Walmart, of all places (typical of them), looking at patio furniture. Got home and the house was just... gone. (The place is in the upper peninsula of Michigan, off by itself a bit.)



It's sort of funny, in a horrible, ghastly way. Reply

And wasn't *that* a bad day? But luckily, the explosion killed the burglar, so that was one less thing to worry about. Reply

Who breaks into a house to vandalize the inside? Well, maybe it's not that odd but that struck me as weird. That explosion room cracks me up. Reply

You'd be surprised. At least a couple of times a year there's a news story in Chicago about exactly that sort of thing. Mostly perpetrated by a group of bored mischievous kids breaking into some well-to-do rich folks suburban home while they're off on holiday and forget to set the alarm. Reply

Oh my word...I would kill to have an original of one of these. I'd have it framed. (I know I say that a lot, but I actually DO have some vintage ads framed...and I want more!) Reply

The burglar looks like he came across something stinky. Reply

I was just thinking that I found the vandal rather attractive! Do you think he'd let me be his biker's moll/old lady? I could wear tight pedal pushers and a chiffon scarf around my neck. Reply

Watch out for the scarf and the wheels, like Isadora Duncan and her scarf that got caught in the steering wheel! ;) Reply

In college, three out of four of those things happening inside the house we rented was known as "Friday night." Reply
