After a burglar was caught red-handed in a Yankie couples home, he was held at gunpoint and forced to clean up their house.

When Adrian and Tiffany McKinnon returned to their house near Montgomery, Alabama, after a week away, they caught an intruder ransacking their home.

When Mr McKinnon walked into another room to check what was missing, he came face to face with the burglar, who was wearing one of his hats.

The offender was held at gunpoint, made him sit down until the angry home owner decided what to do.

"We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor," Mrs McKinnon told her local newspaper The Montgomery Advertiser.

When the police arrived the lazy burglar had the nerve to complain to them - about having to clean up his mess at gunpoint.
