You Can Not make this Up.

In the early 1980’s we were living in a up stairs down stairs duplex in Hyde park. We lived on the upper floor and a nice gay guy named Bill lived on the lower level. One week at the local LGBT church Bill meet Michael Atria. He was in his young 20’s with red hair and had just moved to Tampa. Michael didn’t have any money and was looking for a place to stay until he found work. Bill and Michael hit it off right away and soon both were living in the lower unit below us. Since Michael did not have any money everybody was being nice to him and gave him small odd jobs & had him over for drinks & dinner. Then one early morning  Mark was looking out the front window when he said “Ah Carrie get over her your not going to believe  this!!!!” The street in front of the house was full of police. All had their guys pulled and were pointing at our duplex. Just then the doorbell rang OMG!!!! OMG!!! We waited to see if Bill and Michael would open their door first. Then did and the next thing you know Michael Atria is on the ground with guns to his head!!!! It turned out that poor Michael was not poor. He was actual a big bank robber. In the wheel well behind his spare tire was over $200,000 in cash! Last we heard he was given 30 years and is in the federal prison in South Dakota.
