Live-in burglar arrested

[seamusTX]

In Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in the past week, a family repeatedly noticed that items were missing. The homeowner eventually noticed inexplicable footprints near the attic trap door. She called police, who searched and found a 21-year-old man in the attic, wearing female family members' clothes.

He had been in the attic for about a week.

He was arrested on multiple charges of burglary and criminal trespass.

Carter kept a list of everything he took, said Plains Township police Officer Michael Smith.

"When we were going through the inventory of what he did take, we found a note labeled 'Stanley's Christmas List' of all the items he had removed from the residence and donated to himself," Smith said.
