The owner said something appeared off, and that the thief was certainly hungry.

"If you're gonna be broken into, you might as well get a good laugh out of it. This guy was hysterical, I've never seen somebody so drunk," said owner John Robertson.

Police say the man urinated in a garbage can and fell asleep on the floor. He was gone by the time the owner arrived on Saturday morning, but he did leave behind a big clue for police - his drivers' license.

So far, no arrests have been made.
