Nude swimmer helps burglar

CROSSVILLE, Tenn. – A woman who received permission to skinny dip in a Crossville, Tenn., man’s backyard pool sufficiently amused him while her male companion burglarized the premises, police reported.

The 54-year-old victim said the couple, who live nearby, approached his home about 3 p.m. Saturday.

He said the woman told her companion to return home for her cigarettes and then asked the homeowner if she could swim in his pool.

He escorted her through the home to the pool, where she asked him if he would mind if she swam in the nude, police said.

He didn’t mind, she stripped down and proceeded to swim for 20 minutes. The homeowner sat poolside all the while, handing the woman a towel to dry off with when she finished. She then dressed and left.
