Burglar Arrested When He Mistakes an Unmarked Cop Car for His Lyft

Well this idiot made it easy on the cops...

28-year-old Nicholas Maziot broke into a house in New Jersey last Thursday and thought no one was home.

But the couple who lived there woke up and called the cops and he bolted. He had to climb through an upstairs window and jump off the roof to get away.

Then Nicholas decided to order a Lyft to use as his getaway car. And here's where he really screwed up.

Instead of checking to see what kind of car his Lyft driver was in, he just jumped into the first car that pulled up, which turned out to be an unmarked police car. So he immediately got arrested.

He's facing multiple charges for burglary, criminal mischief, attempted theft, possession of burglary tools, and trespassing.
