36-year-old Damian Wojnilowicz was born in Polish. He was charged with burglary (入室偷盗罪) after entering two houses in Newport, Wales, and doing different chores like taking out the trash, hanging the clothes on a clothesline and cleaning the floors. The man even left a note that read “Don’t worry, be happy, eat up and scratch!” for one of the victims.
Wojnilowicz’s victims didn’t really appreciate the work he did, though! A woman in Monmouthshire who came home and found that the recycling bin had been emptied, the bird feeders had been refilled and some plant pots had been moved around her garden was so terrified for her life that she went to live with some friends. “Two weeks after the crime until he was caught, I was living in a state of heightened anxiety that I had never experienced before,” the woman said. “I wondered if it was somebody who knew me, if it was going to turn into a stalking incident, if he knew I lived alone and if I had been targeted. I was too scared to stay in my own home and stayed with a friend.”
Another unusual burglary took place at another Newport home. In this case, the owner was alerted by his CCTV surveillance (监视) system that Wojnilowicz had approached their house and felt afraid. He could only watch as the 36-year-old man broke into the home, poured himself some wine, washed his clothes and even took a shower. The victim’s son-in-law arrived to drive the burglar away, and he was later arrested.
Wojnilowicz’s lawyer recently told the Court that he was homeless at the time of the incidents and he was sorry for any inconvenience he had caused the victims. They also asked the Judge to consider that he didn’t hurt anyone during the two crimes. The 36-year-old man pleaded guilty (认罪) to both counts of burglary.
