HIS NEW DIGS NOT NEARLY AS NICE

But his new place, like the old, is also rent-free.

Some men will go to great lengths to impress a woman, and it seems teenagers are no different.

An 18-year-old who told his girlfriend and her family that he inherited a 6,000 square-foot lake house and persuaded them to move in with him has been arrested and charged with burglary.

Todd D. Blauvelt Jr, 18, of Ontario County, was discovered in the Canandaigua Lake vacation home with his 15-year-old girlfriend and her family by the owner, who then called police.

Police said Blauvelt convinced his girlfriend and her family that he had inherited the house from his grandfather and invited them to move in.

They had only been there an hour when the owner came home.

He allegedly also told his friends the same story weeks before and had invited them over, telling them his father refused to give him the keys as he searched for a spare one, which he was able to find.

He was charged with second-degree burglary and giving a false statement to police, as well as sexual misconduct and endangering the welfare of a child - due to the age of his girlfriend who he is said to have had a sexual relationship with.

The girl's family were not punished as they did not know that his story was not true.

Deirdre Crofton, a lakefront property owner said: 'It's kind of surprising because we live in an area where we really, I would say, we don't have crime down here so it's pretty surprising to hear about somebody trying to break in and live in somebody's house.'

Investigator Mark Eifart said: 'His story about his father giving him the key justified him snooping around looking for a hidden one. Eventually he was lucky enough to find one. He even made copies.'

He said that when troopers arrived at the house, Blauvelt outlined the fictitious inheritance story on a signed deposition.

He was remanded to the Ontario County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond.
