Russian media recently reported the comical case of a burglar who last
week broke into an office building in the city of Orenburg and then fell
asleep in an office chair.
The botched burglary took place on November 20th, when a 36-year-old man
fraudulently entered a private office building on Sharlykskoye Road, in
Orenburg, by squeezing through a small window on the third floor. He
then used a variety of tools, like screwdrivers, wire cutters, a hammer,
a nail puller, and a bunch of keys, to break into several private
company offices, looking for valuables. He had actually managed to find
140,000 rubles ($2,100) in cash, but instead of hurrying out of the
building before being spotted, the mad decided to get a bit of rest and
sat down in a leather chair. And that’s where police found him sleeping,
several hours later.

According to Russian news agency RIA, the intruder was first spotted
sleeping in one of the offices he had broken into by a security guard,
while checking the surveillance cameras. Instead of confronting the man
immediately, the guard contacted Rosguard (Russia National Guard) which
immediately dispatch an intervention team. It’s unclear how long
Rosguard took to reach the office building, but there was no hurry, as
when they reached the burglar, he was still sound asleep in the leather
chair, next to his bag of cash.
The 36-year-old man was handcuffed and later placed in police custody.
He now faces serious jail time, as a background check revealed that he
had previous convictions and was on the federal wanted list.

The moral of this story is, if you’re planning to carry out a burglary,
maybe get some rest beforehand, as such operations seem to be
exhausting.
