A burglar from Sarasota, Fla., reportedly fell asleep while breaking into a home over the weekend.
A woman who lived in the house told Sarasota police officers she woke up around 7:20 a.m. on Saturday to find 29-year-old Timothy Bontrager sleeping on her sofa, reports WTSP.
When she asked what he was doing in her house, Bontrager reportedly apologized. After telling him she was going to call the police, the burglar started walking around the living room and left the house, making off with her wallet, driver’s license, credit cards and personal checks.
Bontrager, who was picked up by police walking along a nearby road, has been charged with felony burglary of an occupied dwelling.
