Burglar fixed computer

A Beijing bloke repeatedly burgled a neighbour's house to repair her computer, a Chinese court heard.

The man told the court he had a huge crush on his neighbour but was too shy to tell her about it. So he broke into her house five times, sometimes to leave her snacks and other times to do the dishes.

Police caught him walking out of the neighbour's apartment with a key to her door, a bra, two photographs and her MP3 player, which he said he was taking to get fixed.

For some reason the court dismissed the charges against the unnamed burglar, despite the fact that he did steal some photographs and a bra 'out of love'.

I think quite a few people would like a burglar like this one.
