A Man Drills a Hole Into His Neighbor’s Basement, Just to Steal Some Quarters

22-year-old Paul Buskirk of Bath, Pennsylvania decided to rob his neighbor last month, and he came up with a brilliant plan.   Their basements shared a wall, so he sawed a hole in it to get into her house. 

 

And once he was inside, the only thing he stole was, $200 in quarters.  Then he covered his tracks by hanging a shirt over the hole.

 

Somehow, his neighbor wasn’t fooled.  Possibly because the shirt didn’t look anything like a wall, or possibly because of the massive number of drywall pieces on the floor.  She called the cops, and Paul was arrested for burglary and theft on Sunday.

 

There’s no word how much it’ll cost to repair the damage, but probably more than $200, right?  Plus, this guy caused damage to his OWN HOUSE in the process.  Not exactly a master criminal.  Maybe it was laundry day?
