A thief allegedly broke into a woman’s home and carried out activities including cleaning, cooking, and drying clothing.
According to NDTV, the crime took place on July 16 in Monmouthshire, Wales.
These unusual acts for a home burglary were not his last, as he also left a message reading: “Don’t worry, be happy, eat up and scratch.”
The owner of the broken-in house, predictably, did not think the robber’s acts funny. The robber will now serve 22 months in prison for the unorthodox offence.
“From two weeks after the incident until he was caught, I was in a state of heightened worry that I had never felt before. “I was wondering if it was someone I knew, if it was going to turn into a stalking incident, if he knew I lived alone, and if I had been targeted,” the property owner added in the statement.
She explained that she was too afraid to stay in her own home, so she stayed with a friend.
On July 29, the thief carried out a second burglary at another property. However, this time he was captured after the property owner received a CCTV notification on his phone showing the man walking down his driveway.
When the homeowner instructed his son-in-law to check the property, the robber was located with a drink and appeared inebriated.
