Two thieves intent on burglary in Cologne, Germany, called the police when they got stuck in the lift of the premises they were attacking.One of the burglars told the police: "This sounds really dumb, but I'm afraid that we wanted to break in and the elevator has got stuck!"
This reminds the author of two previous humorous incidents:
Firstly, I was called to represent a client who had climbed into a Home Counties police station. He had spent many hours in the police station canteen watching TV before being challenged. The police were so embarrassed that I was able to get the burglary allegation swept under the custody carpet and duly escorted my client to the official exit and freedom.
Secondly, there was the case of a burglar who was roof crawling in the night, intent on breaking into the licensed club premises below. However, he was never the best at geography or maths and he misjudged his movements and fell through the roof into the police station adjoining the club. He was greeted with open arms by the Metropolitan Police's finest!
