Thor Jeffrey Steven Laufer 43, of Racine, claims to be obsessed with them. This week Ozaukee County Circuit Judge Joseph McCormack sentenced him to serve a three-year prison term, plus five years of extended supervision, and ordered him to pay restitution for a burglary spree in which he stole dozens of doorknobs from construction sites in the Milwaukee suburb of Mequon. Laufer told police he took a variety of other items as well, to disguise his obsession, "so that it would look like a typical burglary rather than someone just stealing doorknobs." Laufer also faces charges in Milwaukee County for similar incidents in suburban Franklin.
Too much
I Googled obsessed with doorknobs only to learn that Cameron Diaz also shares Laufer's obsession with doorknobs, from a different perspective. She opens doors with her elbows to avoid touching any germ-infested knobs. Diaz also washes her hands "many times" each day. "I'm not scared of germs," she explains, "I'm just not into other people's fluids..."
They both deserve to visit Terrence's Bay Trading Company just south of Egg Harbor to elbow their way through a vast collection of Door Knobs.
