The world is a very strange place:
An intruder received a taste of divine reckoning as he was chased from the Edinburgh flat he was breaking into by a man dressed as the Norse god Thor.
The housebreaker leapt from the first-floor window of the building to escape Torvald Alexander who was dressed-up for a New Year’s fancy dress party.
Mr Alexander, 39, said the man may have been intimidated by the costume he made of the god of thunder out of tin foil.
[…]Mr Alexander said the man landed on a pitched roof outside the window which broke his fall, before making his escape.
He left behind his shoes and a pitch fork he used to break into the building.
Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up.
