The Unexpected Story: A Surprise Homecoming to a Pristine Home
Are you familiar with that lingering worry of your house being burgled when you’re away on holiday? It’s a thought that often lingers in our minds. But for one man from Hattiesburg, this fear became a reality he could never have anticipated.
An Extraordinary Discovery
While on a week-long trip, this homeowner’s house became an unlikely refuge for a homeless man named Robert Otis. Unbeknownst to the homeowner, Otis had stumbled upon the vacant house on Adeline Street and made it his temporary home.
A Pleasant Surprise
Imagine the astonishment the homeowner experienced when he returned to find his house not only occupied but also unexpectedly immaculate. It’s not every day you walk through your front door to find cooked food in your fridge and someone’s laundry neatly folded in your living room.
A Poolside Encounter
Intrigued by this unusual turn of events, the homeowner ventured outside and stumbled upon Otis. He was diligently sweeping the area around the pool. When questioned about his presence, Otis quickly claimed to work for a pool company. However, it soon became apparent to the homeowner that no pool service had been arranged.
Taking Control of the Situation
With alarm bells ringing in his head, the homeowner retrieved his handgun and calmly held Otis until the Hattiesburg police arrived. Otis was subsequently taken into custody and charged with residential burglary.
An Unconventional Twist
As the homeowner recounted the incident, it became clear that Otis had not simply taken shelter in the empty house, but had also taken it upon himself to transform it. Not only had he helped himself to the homeowner’s shrimp, chicken, and sausage, but he had gone the extra mile. He had cleaned the two refrigerators, diligently swept and mopped the floors, and even wiped down the stovetop. To top it all off, Otis had taken a refreshing shower, laundered his own clothes, and rested on the homeowner’s bed. It was as if he considered the house his own.
