Tommy Boy's History

Tommy Boy went to high school with Nancy’s son and after several years their paths crossed again. Seems this knight in shining armor showed up at her house one day riding his bike. A romance ensued and on more than one occasion, M and her husband saw them making out in the carport. That’s when M’s hubby came up with the nickname “Trick Pony” for Tommy Boy. M asked the BURNING question, “Why, oh why did they have to make out in the carport???” If you’ve got a house and nobody’s in it, what’s the point? After a whirlwind romance, Tommy Boy moved in.

The romance would have continued except for one little problem, Tommy Boy’s roving hands. They took him in other directions. One day while pedaling his bike, he came upon an unattended vehicle that had a purse in it. Unable to resist the temptation, he snagged the purse and fled on his bike. While the police were trying to pin the crime on him, he was caught hiding a wallet he had stolen in the produce section at Wal-Mart. It turned out that he had been going to different stores, taking wallets out of purses, stealing the money and throwing the wallets wherever.

Long story short, Tommy Boy ended up serving time in the slammer for about three years. Nancy sent him letters everyday and even read part of one of his letters to M. M said this was a little too much info for her. Upon his release, Tommy moved back in with Nancy. After a few failed attempts at employment, he became self employed, so to speak. One of his little business ventures involved selling a bottle of prescription drugs to Thelma. Only she thought they were drugs. She was duped by the con. He had sold her vitamins. Thelma was flaming mad and there was nothing she could do about it. How could she call the cops and report that the illegal drugs she purchased were vitamins?

Just recently Thelma’s house was burglarized and it seemed the burglar knew exactly where everything of any value was located. She is pretty sure that Tommy Boy was the cat burglar, but there were no finger prints and not enough evidence to prove it. Maybe this was another little business venture of his?

Nancy told M that two weeks ago, someone stole one of her credit cards out of her house. Wonder who could have done such a thing? There were over $200 worth of charges in one day on the card. She was going to notify the cops, but she just hasn’t had the time. Could this be denial? Nancy has resorted to keeping her purse locked in the trunk of the only car Tommy Boy doesn’t have keys to.
