Sensitive crook of the day


Nice guy.


That’s right. Usually it’s the dumb crook of the day; but, this one behaved a bit differently.

A Berlin burglar’s break-in took an unexpected turn when he stumbled upon a corpse and felt compelled to call the police.

“He called to say he’d just broken into a flat and found a dead body,” said a spokeswoman for Berlin police Thursday. “He gave the address of the place and then hung up.”

Officers discovered the 64-year-old resident of the flat dead in his bedroom. The man had passed away about two weeks ago, and authorities are not treating the death as suspicious.

Local media reported he didn’t take anything - just left the scene.
