Illinois Intruder Breaks In To Cook Meal

Most criminals in Illinois have specific reasons to break into a house but in this case, the suspect's goal was rather unusual.

It's Never A Good Thing To Get Your Home Broken In To

That's the worst feeling. You're out trying to enjoy yourself. Only to return home and the place was robbed. The house was left in a shambles and all your valuables were stolen. Even if the criminals are long gone, you still don't feel comfortable staying there. I don't wish that on anyone.

Different Kind Of Home Invasion In Illinois

The incident happened over the weekend just after midnight in Joilet. The homeowner returned after a night out. When he got out of his vehicle, he discovered that his door had been smashed in. As he investigated his residence, he figured out it wasn't your run-of-the-mill everyday type of robbery.

According to patch.com,

Nothing seemed to be missing including his valuables. The break-in did cause a big mess, especially in the kitchen. As the victim started putting the pieces together, he figured out exactly what happened. The intruder didn't force his way into the home to steal anything. The suspect was hungry, so he busted the door down to make himself some food. I'm guessing the criminal was pretty wasted and had the munchies.
