Upstate Man Cuts Hole in Couch For Hiding Space

Careful ladies, sometimes there’s more than just loose change waiting beneath the couch cushions: A 27-year-old Hudson Valley man is accused of cutting a hole in a woman's couch and hiding in the carved-out space until she came home. Police in Newburgh, N.Y. say the 22-year-old woman sat on the couch Wednesday evening and felt a bump in the cushions; she jumped up and David Joe Limones – who she had previously filed a complaint against – emerged from his hiding place.

She only felt a bump. Poor guy. Maybe he needs Enzyte.

This story is beyond creepy. What will stalkers think up of next?

That's like a story by the Japanese mystery writer Edogawa Rampo (Edgar Allen Poe - get it?) called "the Human Chair" in which a guy concealed himself in a big comfy chair. I don't think this guy read it though. He might have done a better job of concealing himself. Wad.
