Denton Gets Pucked
Denton, TX
Denton County Sheriff’s dep uties are looking for three men who stole eight shuffleboard pucks and threw one of them through the side of a house.
The owner of a bar in the 9000 block of Industrial Road in the Justin area reported that three men she didn’t know came into the bar about 10:40 a.m. Thurs day and began playing shuffleboard. They ordered drinks and began throwing the shuffleboard pucks extremely hard down the board, according to the report.
The bartender told the men to throw the pucks with less force, the owner said. The men left. But the owner discovered they had taken eight pucks with them.
That night, a homeowner in the 2100 block of Boss Range Road in the Justin area reported he heard a loud noise and a shuffleboard puck came crashing through the outer wall of his house. The victim said the puck flew across a baby’s room and struck the other wall, damaging that wall as well. The baby was not in the room at the time, according to the sheriff’s report.
The homeowner reported he looked outside and saw an old pickup truck leaving the area.

The Iron Dude’s right. Putting locks on doors and windows is pretty useless these days when you can literally cut through the plastic siding with a pen knife. I was once at the construction site of a VERY expensive home. They used a fake stone facing on the outside. I’d done stone work, it didn’t look bad, but when I touched it, just touched it mind you, my finger left an imprint. It was nothing more than styrofoam.
Three minutes and you’re walking out with a wide screen TV.
