Man Robbed After Answering the Door Nude

RAPID CITY, S.D. - Police say a Rapid City man was robbed early Monday after he answered the door in the nude. The man told police he had been sleeping unclothed before he answered a knock at the door. Assailants overpowered him, hit him on the head and ran out with his wallet and blue jeans.



The man chased after the assailants and fell down the stairs.


According to the police log, an officer checked out a report of a naked man lying by the stairs at a motel and found a trail of blood leading to the man's room.


Police Lt. David Walton said the man was taken by ambulance to Rapid City Regional Hospital where he was given stitches for a head wound and released.


Police found a pair of blue jeans in a parking lot. The report said an undisclosed number of suspects had taken the wallet.

...that it would be funny to answer the door like that when Jehovah's Witnesses ring the doorbell (unless they have kids with them, of course)

My favorite line in the Rapid City Journal story:

"Unclothed but undeterred, the man chased the assailants and fell down the stairs."

Guess that answers the question: "where have all the cowboys gone?"

The part about falling down the stairs, not so funny. But the part about being undeterred while unclothed: I salute you sire!

Yes ladies, take note: There really is one man still remaining who will not go gently into that good night.
