Thanks to Luke Mullins of U.S. News and World Report for forwarding his post on this AP story: [Commented on here by the Real Estate Bloggers.]
A real estate broker is facing charges after he allegedly stole pain medication from houses he had claimed to be showing to clients.
One homeowner told police he came home Tuesday to find his dog locked in the garage and pain medication missing from his kitchen cabinet.
The 64-year-old real estate agent was in the Hennepin County jail awaiting formal charges.
Minnetonka detective Sgt. Dave Riegert says police have linked the real estate broker to the theft Tuesday as well as to one in June. Police believe they’ll find many more homes involved.
According to a police report, the man had a sock containing 85 pills in his car. He was arrested Tuesday at a scheduled home showing.
Mullin’s comment:
I’m with you, man. I mean, have you seen the Case-Shiller index recently? It takes a lot more than a Scotch and soda to make those numbers look good….
The 64 year old broker not only found a way to deal with "Post Case-Shiller Syndrome", but probably has solved any problems he might have had selecting a retirement home as well.

Ya sure ya betcha, and Minnesota’s bubble isn’t so big. If I had to endure winters up there I would probably induce myself to a stupor as well.
