(5/29/03 - KANSAS CITY) — A would-be burglar was busted by a full moon — his own.
Kansas City police say a known burglar in the area saw an opening in the side of Clyde's Auto Sales shop late May 25 and tried to enter through the hole.
But the 245-pound man underestimated his girth — he got stuck after he had made it halfway through the hole, police said.
"They need to send him to an 'America's Dumbest Criminals' show," said Detective Kelly Bermond.
The 36-year-old man remained lodged in the hole for approximately eight hours before police were called to the scene.
As if being stuck in a hole wasn't enough, the alleged would-be burglar suffered another indignity: At some point during his captivity, his pants fell down, and he wasn't wearing any Fruit of the Looms — or Hanes.
"Yep, you saw everything," Bermond said. "He was there for quite some time before someone called it in and police were dispatched at about 7:45 in the morning."
The fire department had to be called to free the bare-bottomed man with a chainsaw. He was cuffed, arrested and his pants were pulled up.
The man has told police he was not trying to commit burglary but was trying to find a place to sleep.
Bermond said burglary charges would likely be filed. The man's name was not immediately released because he has not been formally charged. You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or
