Police: Polite NJ Burglar Offers To Repair Screen

VINELAND, N.J. -- Authorities say a burglar offered to repair the screen that he damaged breaking into a New Jersey home after he was confronted by the homeowner and told her he meant to break into a neighbor's home.

The homeowner, Maria Cardona, tells The Press of Atlantic City that the man made her nervous as he told her about his family and kept a hand in his pocket. She says he was "really polite," but she just wanted him to leave.

Vineland police say nothing was stolen during the encounter Monday.

Wait...so did the guy just come in to talk about his family? And why would you admit that you broke into the wrong house? This all seems kind of weird. Like somebody was dreaming almost.

That was a strange encounter to say the least.
