Burglar checks email

A burglar in West Bend, Wisconsin hung out for quite some time in the house he was robbing, apparently eating a meal, showering, watching TV, and checking his email. Police think they have identified the man but have yet to catch him. From the La Cross Tribune:

Lori Menzel of the town of Kewaskum said the burglar left his Yahoo account open after checking his personal e-mail on the computer at her home.

``He never logged out,'' she said, adding: ``He made himself at home here. He spent some time in our bedroom trying on my husband's clothes. I could tell he went through some of my clothes.''
