A woman discovered her house had been broken into by a burglar who hung out her washing, put her shopping away and cooked a meal on her stove.
So other than a bottle of wine what did he burgle? 22 months is a bit harsh for a bottle of wine and doing chores.
On the other hand, I completely understand why a single woman would be terrified by this.
Yes she has all right to be scared but still harsh. How can I get him to my house? I have so many dishes and bottles of wine I don’t drink so he’s welcome to come over. Can we work on getting him out on work release?
It sounds like he was homeless, and felt guilty about what he was doing. So in his mind, he tried to do things that he hoped would make up for the wrongs he was committing.
At least, that’s the impression you get from reading the article.
