A burglar realized no one was home and broke into a home in Tel Aviv. He decided to make a night of things and went to sleep on a bed. The owner returned and found the burglar asleep in her bed.
The owner arrived home and found someone she had never met asleep in her bed. She summoned police, who placed the 36-year-old Eilat resident under arrest. Police also returned the items the burglar had gathered, which he hid down the block.
On Friday afternoon erev Acharon Shel Pesach, the Tel Aviv resident left her home. A few hours later the burglar arrived and ascertained the apartment was empty, making the decision to enter. After a short evaluation of the apartment he took clothing and shoes that he placed in a case and hid down the block. He then returned and fell asleep in the bed.
The woman returned home during the morning hours only to find the burglar in her bed. She phoned police who awakened him and placed him under arrest. He will be indicted in the coming days.

On Friday afternoon erev Acharon Shel Pesach Should read on Friday afternoon Erev Shabbos Acharei Mos, since this transpired in Israel.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like it made the slightest difference to the burglar or homeowner whether it was Friday afternoon Erev Acharon Shel Pesach or Friday afternoon Erev Shabbos Acharei Mos or Erev Purim for that matter. Unless of course the burglar decided to sleep over because he didn’t want to drive on Shabbos! But then again, how’d he get there on Yom Tov? Nu, a kashe oif a maase…
