“When I opened the door I was surprised because he was wearing our clothing,” the owner, who did not want be named.
The man knocked on the front door of the house in South Africa’s Eastern Cape on Sunday to ask for gardening work, wearing the owner’s shoes, socks, belt, a pair of trousers and one of his fiancée’s blouses.
The resident then went to check his storeroom, which he saw had been looted.
“I could not believe the audacity of this guy,” he said.
The thief managed to get away but was later nabbed by security guards, the report said.
