Stupid Criminal: A Guy Broke into a Lady’s Home and Did All Her Chores

I almost want this guy to break into my place.  A 36-year-old man in Wales broke into a woman’s home and did all of her CHORES for her.  It happened over the summer, but his trial was this week.

The woman who lived there was at work when he broke in on July 16th, hung her laundry out to dry, put her groceries away, and emptied her recycling.

He also tidied up her garden, refilled the bird feeders, organized her fridge, mopped the floors, put out a bottle of wine, cooked dinner, and left a note that said, “Don’t worry, be happy, eat up.”

He left after that and wasn’t there when she got home from work.  But it freaked her out for obvious reasons.  She thought he was a stalker.

It turned out he wasn’t.  His lawyer told the judge he was just homeless at the time and “undergoing a number of difficulties.”

She stayed with a friend for two weeks until police caught him after he broke into another vacant house.  He didn’t do any chores that time, or didn’t have time to.  Someone showed up and kicked him out.

A judge sentenced him on Thursday to 22 months in jail.  His lawyer told the court her client was sorry for the harm he caused his victims.

(Here’s his mugshot.)
