Friend of mine and I’ve been cleaning a house for a couple days. Friends of mine just bought it. Today 1 800 got junk came in and took out a bunch crap out. I’m sitting outside with owners just kind of looking through things as they bring it out.

The cleanup crews in the bedroom and I hear a loud BANG! And thought what the hell was that? A couple seconds later the smoke detector starts going off. I run in the house, smoke everywhere smells like a fire. I figure the air-conditioning broke and it's on fire....

Nope the original owner had a book cut out for a gun and when they picked it up a flare gun fell out. When the gun hit the floor it went off and shot a flair out that started bouncing around the bedroom. Went out the door and down the hall. Put six burn holes in the wood floor about the size of a pancake and then they grabbed a bunch water and threw it on top of it....

The guy said the flair hit the wall twice and the floor at least three times before going out the door. I can’t believe no one got burned! The one guy working, it was his second day on the job!!

Glad nobody got hurt. Can you imagine the look on a bugular's face staring at the mouth of a flare gun? Good luck.

Nice. lol! It's funny since no one got hurt. I've never found a real cut out book. I have a few fake cut out books though.

BTW- That book is worth a few bucks, if it didn't burn up.

It got thrown out. The guy was kinda upset after he nearly crapped himself.
