Pictured: The bungling burglar left dangling by his shoelaces.

[KSRothwell]

This is the amazing scene of a burglar hanging upside down that greeted home owner Paul Ives when he returned home from work.

Thief John Pearce had got his foot caught after smashing his way through the glass and was left hanging upside down for more than an hour, unable to move.

Eventually, he was freed when Mr Ives called police and paramedics who managed to release Pearce's shoe and hauled him down.

goes back to that common saying "too stupid to be a crook"... then the smart ones most likely would make more money in the "real" work if you count the lost wages in jail!
