Eat your heart out, Goldilocks.

Sometimes I hear stories of people's incompetence and they just fill me with joy.

In this case, it's the story of a Northland teenager, bless her wee cotton socks.

Kerikeri police report that the 17 year old broke into a house, helped herself to some money and 'other bits and pieces', got overwhelmed with a spontaneous attack of narcolepsy and had to have a wee kip on the sofa.

Only to be discovered the following morning by the vaguely bewildered victims of her crime after they woke up.

Police say alcohol had 'almost certainly played a part in her failed burglary'.

If I was her, I would seriously be considering another career, cause it's looking like crime isn't working out for her.
