Burglar arrested after calling the police because he was frightened of a cat

A burglar was arrested after he became frightened when he heard a strange noise and rang police from under a bed.

Marius Ionescu, 31, mistook the family cat for another burglar in the house in Benesti, Romania, causing him to head for cover and wait for the authorities to come and rescue him.

When the police turned up they did not discover anyone else in the house except for the burglar himself and promptly arrested him.

What a bona-fide idiot this guy is, although on the bright side he has just been awarded the Guinness World Record for the most useless burglar ever. 

How could he not tell it was a cat making the noises, what did he think Catwoman, Batman and Robin where in the vicinity and would at any moment smash through the windows and tie him up?

While that was fairly stupid it was nothing compared to that fact that he called the police, I’d love to read the transcript from that call: hello I’ve broken into a house and there were some strange noises so I’m now hiding under a bed can you come and help me.

I would like to know how they managed to drive him back to the station without crashing because they were, I imagine, laughing so much.

Still if Mr Ionescu is sent to prison and is put in a cold cramped cell, he could always buy a cat to keep him company.
