Man breaks into house, steals bra and tuna, watches old woman sleep

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

The things some guys do when breaking into a home is undeniably bizarre. That said, you might have a hard time topping this one: A 20-year-old broke into an elderly woman’s home, stole her tuna and ice cream, put one of her bras on his head, then stood over her and watched her sleep. Fortunately, she woke up and chased after him with her catheter bag to get him out. Yeah.

A WOMAN, 61, chased a man out of her house wielding a catheter bag after he stood over her bed with one of her bras on his head in a frightening midnight home invasion.

Anne Senior got a mighty shock when she woke to find a man, who had stolen a tub of ice cream and tin of tuna from her kitchen, in her bedroom.

The plucky 61-year-old, who lives alone in her Fulham Rd unit, picked up her catheter bag and chased the 20-year-old man out of her home following the terrifying 12.15am break-in yesterday.

”I went to bed at about 11.30pm and I woke at 12.15am and there was a young man standing at the foot of my bed and he had something white wrapped around his head,” she said.

”I screamed and chased him out the back door. I must have been a funny sight because I had to pick up my catheter bag from the bucket where it sits beside my bed before I chased him.”

A funny sight indeed. This seems like something that’d be on Benny Hill’s lost episodes. It’s crazy how a catheter bag being wielded as though it were a machete really lightens the mood on a home invasion, robbery, and possible attempted sexual assault. If only the home invader did a prat fall over an ottoman on the way out.

Tuna and ice cream seems like an odd couple of things to steal though. Then again, I’m questioning the logic of a robber who put an old lady’s bra on his head. It might be a bit of a reach for me to be asking for logic and courtesy with a person who’d think doing these things are a sign of a rip-roaring good time.
