"Burglar" turns out to be drunk neighbor

[Spiritwarrior]

A man in an eastern Dutch town went home last Saturday to find his lights on and his inebriated neighbor welcoming him at the front door with a drink.

The drunken 53-year old, who lives two doors down in the small town of Gasselternijveen, had broken into the wrong house after finding that his key didn't work, according to a police report. His furniture looked different, his dog was missing.

The drunken neighbor was arrested for trespass, but has since offered to pay for damages.

I guess he was confused while attempting to get in, though.

Kids...this is why alcohol is bad.

I didn't know alcahol is THAT confusing - either that or the houses are similar.

If you drink enough, you don't really know what you are doing. Thus the breaking into the house when his key wouldn't work.

Let's just say I've done my fair share of drinking and I have learned my lesson. (I am 26 and just finished up college afterall.)
