Britain's worst burglar: John Pearce had got his foot caught after smashing his way through the glass
'Another neighbour called the police and there ended up being quite a crowd standing laughing at him. It's the main road to the station so it's quite busy.
'One man walked past and said, "Hang in there, mate". It was all quite funny.'

Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
I imagine, this being the UK, he'll get off with a warning.

Will the home owner be charged for having a booby trap? /s

Arrest the people laughing at him...
Arrest the home owner for maintaining a a dangerous attractive nuisance.
Give the burgler a cash settlement for embarassment.

Too bad they couldn’t just spray him with polyurethane and leave him hanging there forever as a warning to other would-be burglars.
Maybe dangle a hanging plant from his foot.

Didn't anyone think to ring up the home owner and say, “Chester, old boy, I hate to bother you with this, but is seems that there's a bugler hanging upside down from your bay window.”
It's like chilling old claret, or beating someone else's wife, it's just not done in the best circles. Proper etiquette calls for impaling them on a spiked wrought iron fence, old man. Who knows where this kind of thing will lead?

Unable to free himself, Pearce was left hanging upside down in the window frame for more than an hour as a crowd of 30 neighbours and passers-by gathered to ridicule him So will he sue & the police prosecute the crowd for 'failing to render assistance' and 'inflicting emotional distress'?

Looks like he’s got good quality shoelaces there. I wonder what brand they were.
