Sometimes crimes are carried out so very seamlessly we assume that there must be a rule book knocking around in a dark corner of the internet. We haven't come across it yet and neither has Connor Allenby by the looks of things.
That's because after being kicked out of Newcastle University's Student Union, this raver returned to burgle the venue - only to fall asleep at the crime scene.
CCTV caught 24-year-old Allenby snoozing just seconds after pinching the £100 ($120) float from the SU.

A court heard it was the second nap he'd enjoyed on what turned out to be an eventful night, after inexplicably falling asleep in another bizarre part of the building some time earlier.
Claire Irving, prosecuting, explained that shortly before his first nap of the night he 'somehow ended up on the roof'. Like you do.
So he spent five hours shivering up there, long after the 'Rave to the Grave' February bash - dubbed Uni T - had ended.
Eventually, he somehow found a Newcastle Student Union fleece before prising open a window to get inside the building.

Ms Irving added: "He said there was no way off the roof, and that was the only way (he could get inside)." Once inside, cameras caught him sneaking around the now empty venue.
Dressed in the fleece, they filmed him going near the till before opening it and helping himself to the cash. That was the moment the night's shenanigans seemed to suddenly catch up with him again.
"He appears to fall asleep for a while behind the counter," added the prosecutor during the court hearing.
The Gateshead raver, who was representing himself, pleaded guilty to a non-dwelling burglary. The court heard that the footage, as well as fingerprints at the scene, helped snare Allenby.

And his actions had left the organisation with a £144 ($173) repair bill which magistrates ordered him to pay.
Representing himself, he claimed he'd been thrown out by security staff who had 'twisted him up'. But he apologised for his actions, saying: "I shouldn't have done it. I'm sorry, but it happened."
However, he protested when magistrates slapped him with a £650 ($780) bill - including a £266 ($320) fine - for the offence.
He blurted out 'God,' after being ordered to pay for both the damage caused, and court charges. That wasn't the end of it either because Allenby was also ordered to pay £25 ($30) for the fleece.
