Marc and Francois, the friendly burglers
Two burglars broke into an elderly widow’s home - and introduced themselves.
“We are Marc and Francois. We’re friendly burglars and we won’t assault you,” they said after breaking into Simone Delapierre’s villa in Belgium. The pair pocketed jewellery and £200 - and advised her not to leave her windows open. They then gave Simone, 82, a hug and a kiss on the cheek and waved goodbye.
