AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A burglar who took a nap after breaking into an elderly woman's house in Amsterdam was arrested Sunday after she found him asleep on her couch.
The burglar slipped in through a window and combed the house for valuables before settling down for a snooze, police said. He was rumbled at about 6 a.m. when the woman found him in her living room and called the police.
"The police came and he was still asleep. They woke him up," Amsterdam police spokesman Rob van der Veen said.
