First of all, you're reading this story in the Technology Section, simply because we do not have a vertical specifically for stupidity.

A thief, who happened to be a teenager, broke into a 60-something couple's home in order to steal the most unexpected thing. Many things could have gone wrong, especially when a criminal has broken into your home, however, what happened next is pure millennial stupidity.

The intruder, please bear with me, actually woke the couple up in the middle of their sleep and asked the password to their Wi-Fi. Yes, even I was like "what the actual f**k?”

The masked intruder was obviously declined by the homeowners and was shoved down the hallway and out the front door. The couple obviously called the police before throwing him out. 

The event took place in Palo Alto, United States and to much surprise, it wasn't the first time this burglar had attempted this stupid act.

The Police said that the 17-year-old burglar had attempted another Wi-Fi theft in a home nearby. When he was confronted by the homeowner, he “asked to use their Wi-Fi network because he was out of data,” according to police. 

The residents obviously told the teenager to bugger off and he rode off on a bike, which the couple later discovered had been stolen from their backyard. As of now, the burglar is facing charges for burglary as well as a misdemeanor count of prowling. 

We hope this boy realises how stupid his actions were and what led to his eventual arrest. 

New Rule - if you run out of data on your phone, don't go breaking into people's homes for the Wi-Fi password. Just recharge your phone for additional data as it would be a cheaper ordeal. Geez!
