    Woman mistook naked thief for husband

    KUALA LUMPUR
    Tue May 13, 2008 2:08pm EDT

    KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Malaysian woman woke up to a real-life nightmare, discovering that the naked man who had slipped into her bed in the middle of the night was a thief, not her husband, a newspaper said on Tuesday.

    Oddly Enough

    The 36-year-old housewife was asleep when the thief, noticing that her husband was fast asleep on the couch, quietly stripped off and lay down beside her, the Star newspaper said, quoting a police report filed in the eastern state of Terengganu.

    The dozing woman's suspicions were raised when she spoke to him and his voice sounded strange, the paper said.

    "She then went to another room and found her husband fast asleep on the couch. That's when she screamed, causing the thief to flee by leaping out the window together with the stolen items," it added.
