Burglar at Christmas

A Romanian burglar thought another burglar was robbing the same house he was in, so he hid and called police. As you can guess, this didn't end well for our criminal.

If you're afraid of things that go bump in the night, a career in burglary might not be for you.

According to the ShortList, the 31-year-old crook had scoped out a home and decided to break in during the middle of the night and steal all the goodies inside. But while burglarizing the place he heard a noise, a noise that he thought was another crook breaking into the very house he was in.

Man-genius here decided to hide and called police to report the break in. Well, the cops showed up, searched the house, and found our thief in hiding. (Surprise, surprise.) There was no other crook.

The noise he heard was probably just the family cat.

Yes, this attempted robbery was most likely thwarted by a cat.
