Weirdest Things To Go Through A Roof

There are more than just trees that go through roofs these days. It's true that when you think of roof damage you think of small animals or maybe the stray branch of a tree during a wicked storm. While you're thinking of strange things that go through a roof, we bet you never expected a baseball player and a few willing men:

In what appears to be turning into somewhat of a tradition, yet another baseball player has injured himself ahead of spring training in an unusual way. On Tuesday, Kansas City Royals reliever Brian Flynn fell through the roof of his barn in Oklahoma, resulting in a broken rib and three non-displaced fractures in his vertebrae.

“He was working on his barn and fell through the roof,” Royals Manger Ned Yost told reporters (via Kansas City Star) at a Tuesday afternoon press conference. “So he took a pretty good tumble, knocked himself out.”

Flynn, who was not assured a spot in the Royals bullpen, is expected to take about eight weeks to recover, which Yost said will put him “behind everybody else.”

Bet that hurt! Don't forget this guy:

A man suspected of trying to burglarize a City Heights smoke shop early Thursday morning had apparently entered the business by cutting a hole through the store's roof.

At about 2:30 a.m., police responded to a security alarm call at the Blaze Smoke Shop in the 4100 block of University Ave.

When officers arrived, the suspected burglar locked himself inside the store.

However, after several minutes, the man gave himself up to officers and was arrested.

According to the store's owner, this is the third time someone has broken into his shop in the past two days.

The owner told 10News he had just fixed his roof because someone else broke into the store by coming through the ceiling.

This guy needs to put some steel plating or something up there. He's not the only one:

Two burglars who broke into the Rainbow Farms Market in unincorporated El Cajon Sunday by removing a rooftop vent were in custody Thursday after they were recognized by police on surveillance camera footage of the incident, authorities are reporting.

Lakeside residents Everett Luther, 26, and Travis Murry, 32, forced their way through the market’s ceiling and climbed down inside the building between 5-5:30 a.m., according to a report from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

“Once inside, the suspects stole a large quantity of cigarettes and lottery tickets,” the report continued.

The burglars then climbed back out through the building’s roof and fled before deputies arrived at the market located at 1335 La Cresta Boulevard.

When deputies reviewed surveillance camera footage taken from the scene, they determined Luther and Murry were the suspects and both men were arrested Thursday. Murry had two outstanding felony warrants for unrelated burglary charges, the report continued.

Why does coming through the roof seem like such a good idea for criminals? Honestly, you don't know what's up there. At least the second group used a vent. The first criminal decided to just, you know, cut a hole in the roof. Because, criminal minds. We hope that the baseball player recovers. He's the only one who didn't want to go through the roof, it was just an unfortunate accident. When you've got some repairs to get done, you need to make sure they're done right, which we can help with: http://sandiego.preciseroofing.net/roof-repair/. That's not saying the poor shop owner didn't try to get it done right the first time. It just seems like his roof is an easy target. Perhaps all shops should have their roofs made of some sort of indestructible material.
