An angry burglar left a note telling homeowners not to bother locking the house after they didn't find enough money inside.
The robber in India was left disappointed at not being able to find enough cash and valuables at the residence of a government official in Madhya Pradesh'.
A copy of the note also surfaced on social media in which the burglar wrote "Jab paise nahi they toh lock nahi karna tha collector” (when there was no money, it should not have been locked, collector).
Police investigating the burglary say 30,000 in cash and a few jewellery items were stolen.
The India Times reports the thief apparently used the government officer's note-pad to write the funny note.
