Apparently, small-sized windows are a great help in protecting homes. Chinese police have caught a burglar who got stuck in a window as he tried to escape.

A woman from Kunshan, Jiangsu province, came home one day and found out that her bedroom had been ransacked, reports CCTV.

According to the woman, the burglar probably heard her going inside the house and tried to escape through the bedroom window. The thief, however, got his head stuck.

Police released footage showing the bumbling thief in a difficult situation.

“My neck’s jammed!” the footage showed him shouting.

The burglar was arrested after police chiseled away one of the window's bars. He was trapped in the window for about half an hour before his release, reports Jiangsu Television.

The man was found to be a seasoned housebreaker. He has been charged with burglary.

Bumbling law-breakers in different places

Although the news might sound funny, bumbling law-breakers are a menace that can be found in different parts of China.

For example, in 2014, a bumbling robber in Liaoning tried his best to run away with a 90-kilogram bag of money, but to no avail. He was then arrested.

Burglars of the bumbling kind are not only found in China. Recently, a would-be burglar was also caught trapped as he attempted to infiltrate a university building in England.

The Telegraph reports that two students returned to the Nottingham Trent University at 2:30 a.m. local time from a night out to find the man screaming and crying because he got stuck in the Arkwright building last week Friday.

At first, the students thought that the man was also a student. After finding out that the man was already 27, they realized that it was quite unlikely.

Firefighters and police came to free the man. He said he had been hanging there for about five hours.
