Would-be burglar in Dallas gets stuck in a chimney

Comment

A man attempting to rob a vacant Dallas house Friday morning had a little a hitch in his plans. He got stuck in the chimney. (I wonder if he knew the house was vacant, because it seems like there are whole mirage of easier ways to break into a vacant house. I'm just sayin'.) Someone finally saw him and called 911. Dallas Fire-Rescue took the chimney apart brick by brick to get the man out. The man had no serious injuries.

Friday Night Films with AFI Dallas "If you build it, they will come" ... could've described Ray Nasher's vision for NorthPark and his sculpture center, or Lenier Temerlin and Michael Caine's desire to start a local AFI festival. The two team up for an all-American screening of Field of Dreams in the Dallas Arts District. Or there's always fireworks. More info
