Bungling Burglar

Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time

It's a 1, 2, 3 on the felony
Well not everything is free
Now that you served the community
It's the life of a petty thief

It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But you'll be caught stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got

Shoplifter - Green Day





A DOZY burglar has been foiled after getting stuck in a store's air vent.

Lonnie Shields was trapped in the hole for more than six hours after his bungled raid.

Owners of the shop and diner in Orlando, Florida, discovered the thief when they arrived for work. They heard screams for help and noticed a pair of legs hanging down from the overhead system.

Shields was freed - from the vent, that is - after firefighters poured liquid soap around him and pulled him back up.

Orlando fire chief Greg Hoggatt said: "When we got to the roof, we saw him looking up at us with his arms above his head.

"He got about halfway down and got stuck."

Reports said Shields was taken to hospital suffering from injuries to his groin area.

Police say he will face several charges.
