Burglars who drink wine are SO better-behaved (than the rest).

Source: Manxradio, Isle of Man. Burglars told consequences of reoffending. 7/4/2009.

Wine drinking burglars are neat, tidy, and they don’t even actually burgle. That’s my kind of burglar. Of course, you might have to move to the Isle of Man to find this type of polite criminal.

From the article:

The court heard the defendants entered the house by an unlocked conservatory door and stole the wine and spirits, which were mostly recovered.

…there was no forced entry, the house was not ransacked and no valuables were taken. They only entered the conservatory and kitchen and the offence was a “spur of the moment” decision taken while both were drunk.

— S.S.
