Needless to say, the 36-year-old burglar was arrested.

Also needless to say, a bottle of vodka was involved.

I have a hard time staying up past 9, so I would very likely to this. “Cat burglar” was never in the cards for me.

  • no beer before the move is over

Theft is a crime best committed while a) sober and b) fully rested.

In Russia, the first of those is a rather hard ask.

Stashing a bottle of vodka in your safe may be good burglar protection.

Sounds like he didn’t steal $2,100. He stole a nap, maybe.

Must add these to the ones I learned from Coach Finstock…

“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger anywhere on her body.”

He was stealing money to buy a CPAP machine.
