2) Leave your Norse superstitions in the getaway car
"
Godly reckoning for home intruder"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/"
An
intruder received a taste of divine reckoning as he was chased from the
Edinburgh flat he was breaking into by a man dressed as the Norse god
Thor."
Huh... I got a door alarm, dogs, quick-open safe,
Ruger semi-auto, laser sight... never thought about stocking TIN FOIL
as part of my security plan.
"
The
housebreaker leapt from the first-floor window of the building to
escape Torvald Alexander who was dressed-up for a New Year's fancy
dress party. Mr Alexander, 39, said the man may have been intimidated by the costume he made of the god of thunder out of tin foil."
Believe it or not - it gets weirder.
"...the man landed on a pitched roof outside the window which broke his fall, before making his escape.
He left behind his shoes and a pitch fork he used to break into the building."
Why
would he take off his shoes? And, a pitchfork?? Well, he
didn't get any loot, so I guess when he winds up in the hay it's only
hay - a hey hey!
