Burglar in tree delayed 783 trains and cost half a million pounds

A "stupid" burglar who climbed up a tree next to a train line to avoid
police, led to the delay or cancellation of 783 trains at a cost of half a
million pounds, a court was told.

I'm not sure whos dumber - the burglar or a society that would bring a
transport system to a halt because of some worthless piece of scum stuck up a
tree nearby. If he'd fallen out and died I'd have called that a result.

You're not the one that has to do the resultant paperwork.

I'll do that.
