Breaking and entering offences in NSW

Sahar Adatia.

For most burglars, a break-in is a clear case of premeditated, meticulous planning, executed swiftly with a prompt getaway.

From entering the property to clutching valuables and fleeing as inconspicuously as possible, every step has an intention.

Well, for most home-breakers, that is.

In a case of bizarre burglary, an intruder in California decided he would break into a couple's home in the town of Meadow Vista - and just casually take a shower.

Not a worry in the world or a concern that maybe breaking into somebody's home and helping yourself to a shower, is, perhaps, against the law.

Talk about inviting yourself over - and overstaying your welcome, right?
