"Man hides inside woman's couch"
A New York man is accused of cutting a hole in a woman's couch and hiding in the carved-out space until she came home.

say what?
but...? why...? in the couch? because...? and what...?

to make matters stranger, the woman suspected that he might be there! well, not IN HER COUCH, but in her apartment.

the story on the whole is very vague but i don't think any amount of additional information is going to clear this up for me.
