AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A hungry Dutch burglar was caught frying a fish on the job after the smell of his cooking woke up the householder, police said Monday.

"The man was casually frying up a fish. The householder who was asleep in the attic was woken up by the smell. When she went to investigate she found the man standing at the oven," Marieke Schoneveld, a police spokeswoman, said.

The 45-year-old intruder, who had also smoked a cigarette, told police he had a penchant for fish and had taken a cold beer from the fridge to complement his meal. He had loaded up his bag with other drinks, but had not stolen anything else.

1. Never cook for yourself whilst burgling.

If you're hungry, steal something ready-to-eat. Sheesh! Beginners!
