I was a cat burglar in the Chicago area early 90's. I had a partner at the time, we worked as a team. He was from the east coast, but moved west after a few run-ins with Johnny Law in NY. We canvased a bunch of high class areas and found a neighborhood that was a real jackpot. My partner disguised himself as a police officer and snooped around these houses as folks prepared to leave town for the holidays. We spent a few day robbing, and flooding houses. that's the thing you see, each time we burgled, I would stuff rags in the drain and leave the faucets running. "All the great ones leave their mark" I would say. My partner would scoff at me, but I wanted to leave me calling card, so to speak. We flooded dozens of basements in the greater Chicago area. Eventually we were caught, linked to dozens of crimes and tossed in the slammer. I did 12 years, but got out on good behavior. Long story short, I have flooded lots of basements and homes.
