Crime Does Not Pay ...

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch burglar phoned police after fleeing in panic when he found the corpse of an 89-year-old woman in a house he broke into in The Hague.

Police said they were still searching for the burglar who "got the fright of his life."

"He said he was the burglar and that he found a corpse," a police spokesman said. "He found the mortal remains in one of the rooms and left the home to call emergency number 112."

Police were investigating if anything was stolen and believed the woman may have been dead for some time.

I'm guessing that he's going to sue now due to mentral stress disorder.

they definitly do things different in Europe.  i spent 2 months right outside of The Hague in Wassenaar, its a different world.  They aren't sue happy/money crazy like some people here.  Some of the kindest people there.  Thats a funny story though... sorta.... well part of it.
