  • Bungling burglar hides in separate room waiting for family to fall asleep
  • Smokes cigarette, dozes off and loud snoring wakes up resident who calls police

A burglar in China who fell asleep during a break-in and snored so loudly he woke up the homeowner has faced widespread ridicule on mainland social media.

The robber entered a house in Yunnan province in southwest China at around midnight on November 8, but became spooked when he heard people talking inside. So, he decided to wait in a separate room until the homeowners went to sleep.
