Burglar in shorts

Our local newspaper, the Corsicana Daily Sun, has a great article that needs to be retold.  But first the DISCLAIMER:  { Obviously } I have no actual personal knowledge of any of this - my information comes from the local paper article and a very short conversation with a local ex-police-type-person.  I learned nothing new from the law guy, so, in reality if I had not read the paper, I would know Nothing.   Wanting to give credit toe the reporter, I reread the paper.  The article was filed by "Staff Reports." Unless they have a reporter with the last name of Reports, I can't give credit, now can I?
.
Whew, that's over.
.
Friday morning a guy was arrested for burglary of a house in Corsicana.  When he was arrested, he was dressed only in his underwear.  Go Figure.  Here's what we figured.  He did the job undressed so - when he ran away from the scene and was spotted - he could quickly put on his green shirt - and nobody would figure him for the guilty - because he wasn't dressed only in underwear.
.
Nobody told me if it were boxers or shorts.  I didn't ask; they didn't say.  
.
But instead he was apprehended without clothes on making it difficult to deny guilt.
.
Follow this as it happened.
.
The guy climbs into a window at 7:30 a.m. Friday.  Someone called the police.  The homeowner confronted the guy who ran out of the house.   He ran to a nearby house and entered through an unlocked door.    The burglar ran into the house and out the back door.
.
The police spotted him running down the street.  He entered a 3rd house knocking down a female resident who was standing by the front door.  Once he entered, he turned and locked the door behind him.  Yes, behind him.  The policeman kicked in the the locked door and caught the "suspect".
. 
The paper said he was a 34 year old white male wearing only underwear.  After he was caught, he was transported (I guess that means ambulance or the back seat of a police car) to the local hospital for treatment.    He had cuts and abrasions on his bare feet.  Yes, my dear, the guy did not wear shoes either.  I suppose he was afraid someone would recognize his pink Nikes.
.
Now would you  break into a house unclothed in daylight?  Then, would you not wear shoes?  Running away would you stop to see if the house next door had unlocked doors to allow you to run straight through?  Would you have been better off to be completely naked?  
.
Final note - imagine this.   You buy a brand new house (new to you).  For months you are looking forward to owning and sleeping in this great house.  You move in.  The next morning, you throw open the front door to look out at your fabulous new neighborhood and smell the fresh air of your beautiful new yard.  Then some clown in his underwear runs up - knocks you down - runs into your house locking the door behind him - the front door is kicked down by a policeman who tackles the intruder inside your house.
.
I figure she is thinking:  "I am so glad I moved into this beautiful, quiet neighborhood.  Tomorrow I buy a German shepherd with long teeth."  
As always we should remember that a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.  If I knew his name, I wouldn't say it here.  Not me, Slick.  He might google his name, and, then coming looking for me - in his long johns.  Me betcha he spends some time in a looney bin.  Any takers?
