Hooker, line and sinker

So let's be honest with each other: Everybody's had an embarrassing incident where they began the night with a lap dance and ended up with their most expensive possessions being carried out of their house while they ate breakfast with a stripper wearing a borrowed T-shirt, right? Anyone?

Well, we know it isn't just us: One guy's already been through the same thing, and police say more may find themselves in similar situations if a lap dancer/prostitute/burglary ringleader stays on the streets. KTRK reports about the man's experience: He went to Treasures one night and enjoyed a lap dance from a young woman who called herself Lynette. She offered to perform oral sex for money, but the guy — not one to pass up an opportunity, apparently — decided to pay her $700 for a night of sweet love at his home.

In the morning, Lynette wanted breakfast, so she and the guy went to Mama's Cafe. While they ate — Lynette in a gray T-shirt she borrowed from the guy, he probably wondering if she expected him to pay for breakfast, too — burglars were stealing expensive electronics from the victim's house. "When he got home, he found his home had been burglarized. They stole his 42-inch plasma television and two laptop computers," Det. John Bohannon of the Bellaire Police Department told Channel 13. Police believe Lynette left a window open when she and the guy went to breakfast, giving the thieves easy entrance to the house.

Police have images of the woman from Mama's surveillance camera and are looking for anyone who might know her (if you think you do, call Bellaire police at 713.668.0487 or Crime Stoppers at 713.222.TIPS). And if anybody has a spare 42-inch plasma and some common sense, we know of a guy who needs 'em.
