Burglar Gets Drunk, Snores, Wakes Up Shop’s Owner

[An] unidentified robber made a bad situation slightly worse when he decided to hide under a bed in the store–the same bed that was occupied by the owner at the time, Hiewchawna said.

While waiting to split, the robber drank a few of the pilfered beers, keeled over, and started snoring so loudly that he woke up the shop owner, who called the cops.

Burglar fell down chimney

A burglar was caught after he fell down a chimney while escaping over the roof of a house he had just broken into.

Police in Maastricht, Holland, arrested the 33-year-old after being called out by the house owners who heard his calls for help.

The man had tried to flee out of a roof window with his booty of cash and jewellery, but tumbled in the dark and got stuck inside the chimney.

Burglar tries to cook chicken wings in dishwasher

A thief in Ontario got the munchies after breaking into a hunting and fishing lodge and decided to make chicken wings — by cooking them in the dishwasher.

When Mary Schneider, owner of The Last Resort in Sioux Falls, Ont., arrived to open for business at 6 a.m. on June 8, she found Dayton Kavanaugh, 20, standing in her kitchen. She noticed the dishwasher was running, but said she didn’t pay much attention to it.

After Schneider’s husband took Kavanaugh outside, Schneider said she noticed money from her cash register was missing. She left to get help, but said Kavanaugh bolted and escaped with $180.

When Schneider returned to the kitchen to turn off the dishwasher, she discovered Kavanaugh’s snack — the wings were “cooking” in the dishwasher’s running water.
