Free beers for drunk who stumbles across burglary

Police in Austria are looking for two burglars who broke into a pub and served free beers to a drunk until he fell asleep - allowing them to rob the safe.

The crooks served Hermann Bendt three beers on the house after he stumbled into the pub during the break-in and ordered a pint.

When he eventually fell asleep on the bar, the pair made off with the contents of the safe.

Bendt was later woken by police but according to the report on ananova.com, he could only describe the men as "one big bloke and one smaller one".
