An elderly man had the shock of his life when he found a man sleeping in the middle of his house. He had initially assumed that the sleeping man was one of his son’s friends but it turned out that he was a drunken thief!
This incident took place at Taman Tanjung, Bahau, Negeri Sembilan, on January 23 (Monday).
As reported by Utusan, the elderly homeowner, 66-year-old Sin Kong Men, shared that he had woken up as usual and wanted to go out to have breakfast at a shop located near his house.
However, as soon as he came to the middle of his house, he was surprised to find a man asleep on the floor and a black dog pulling at the man’s sleeve.
“I thought it was my son’s friend, but then I saw the messy living room and there was a paper bag containing 2 knife blades, a screwdriver, 2 bottles of liquor and a computer tablet with the man.”
“The liquor and the computer tablet are items from this house, I suspected this man drank the liquor from the glass cabinet until he got drunk and fell asleep. My children and I tried to wake the man, but he didn’t wake up. Not long after, the police arrived and the police also took almost 30 minutes to wake the man up,” Sin said.
He added that, at the time of the incident, there were more than 10 people in his home including his children who had returned to celebrate Chinese New Year.
