Sued after getting stuck on the house he was robbing
In October 1998, A Terrence Dickson of Bristol Pennsylvania was exiting a house he finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up, because the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't re- enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, so Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. This upset Mr. Dickson, so he sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of half a million dollars and change.

What? More here

WTF??? that's IT I am moving to that end of the world..take up life as a cat burglar...then sue the homeowners...I'd be laughing all the way to the bank


Over here, I thought it was bad when, someone who breaks into your home and hurts themselves by tripping over something ...they sued the owners..but that just takes the biscut

Wait, what kind of dog food was it?
