  1. I had the nozzle on this one. On arrival the neighbors thought 2 girls were still inside. A swift kick opened the front door and a search showed the girls had already gotten out. This was confirmed form outside around the same time.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
