Sheriff: Near-naked burglar was using sauna
SAN ANDREAS, Calif. (AP) - Authorities in Northern California say a man arrested in nothing but a trench coat and socks after a break-in told investigators he had been using the homeowner's sauna.
Calaveras County sheriff's deputies arrested 49-year-old Robert London this week after they responded to a report of a burglary at a home in San Andreas. He pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of burglary and possession of stolen property.
Sheriff's Sgt. Chris Hewitt says arriving deputies found the homeowner on top of a nearly naked London on the driveway.
The homeowner said he discovered London going through his kitchen cabinets and chased him out the door.
Hewitt says London told investigators he thought the house was vacant, and he had used the sauna there in the past.

Ok...according to the story he was in nothing but a trench coat and stockings, yet the picture above is a pair of naked feet?
I give it to the homeowner, I would have been horrified to find him. Glad the homeowner if ok. Mr (I say this loosely) London needs to take a look at his life at 49 and see if he can salvage what is left and get perhaps a shred of dignity.
It's just an idea, but maybe if there's stuff in the kitchen cabinets in a house you have entered, you should just go ahead and assume that it's NOT vacant, just on the off-chance someone still lives there.
