PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — Police in Florida say a burglar who made off with a man’s valuables returned to the home later while investigators were there and snatched what he couldn’t carry on his first trip: a 100-pound plasma-screen TV.

The burglar had left the TV in the backyard and investigators were going to dust it for fingerprints.

But hours after the first burglary and with a Pensacola Police investigator still at the home, the robber came back and took the TV.

“They were all very embarrassed,” the man who lived at the house, Steve Fluegge, told the Pensacola News Journal.

Police searched the neighborhood with dogs, but couldn’t find the burglar or the TV.

Police have offered to pay for the TV.
