That's why I always tweet 'In closet, with gun' before I leave the house.

Are you sure you're not R. Kelly?

For those of you, including myself, that didn't know what this was a reference to:

"Trapped in the Closet" is an urban opera, R&B opera, or hip-hopera released by contemporary R&B singer R. Kelly in 2005.

If that were true, then we'd still know when to rob your house : )

Maybe not, perhaps he also tweets 'In closet, with gun' when he's in the closet, with a gun?
Re:Please Rob Me by Skriticos on Wednesday February 17, 2010 @11:16AM (#1131765)
Then again, he might also tweet that he is on vacation while sitting on the closet, with gun..

Im guessing the general idea is to brainfuck potential theives into simply choosing a different house without the whole gun/closet conundrum!

Yeah, it's all a cost/benefit analysis. When I'm choosing which house to rob, I always try to decide if it is worth the risk of someone hiding in the closet with a gun.

So far the risk has always too high :)

I think we can all agree to stay out of his closet.
