Did this guy just decide to do the ultimate 'give-up' on his life, or did he get caught, and just decide to 'F it all!' and go 'scorched earth'?Jonesboro man blames imaginary friend 'Curt' for robbery idea
A Jonesboro Arkansas man may have needed to listen to his conscience — and not his imaginary friend — when thinking about robbing a home.
Robert McKenzie, 22, faces felony residential burglary and theft charges after stealing $10.50 in dimes from a Jonesboro home. Police say McKenzie told investigators his imaginary friend "Curt" told him to go inside the home. At a court hearing Friday, McKenzie asked a reporter why he didn't take a picture of "Curt."
Police say Nettleton School District employees caught McKenzie robbing a co-worker's home Wednesday. Officers say McKenzie stabbed a man with a screwdriver before being arrested.
McKenzie was being held Saturday on $5,000 bond at the Craighead County jail. He refused to fill out paperwork for a public defender to represent him.

What makes someone, at the age of 22, suddenly decide that they'll never be able to come up with $10.50 and need to steal it and then stab their victim with a screwdriver? You think this guy took a long time planning his brief foray into crime?
and...Curt? What's up with that?
I've always wondered why the 'imaginary friends' are never anyone like Jesus, or Ghandi, or Mother Theresa...
