Excited Burglar Nearly Liked Local Man’s “Obligatory Airport Pint” Social Media Post

“I just got really excited,” confessed burglar Mark Pricely, after nearly hitting the like button on a holiday-bound Instagram post, a moment that could have jeopardised his entire day’s work.

Pricely, 24, was up early this morning, doing what he calls his ‘daily commute’, scrolling social media feeds for the term ‘airport pints’ in search of empty homes to tap.

“When I saw the caption and realised the guy lived on the Dunmore Road, I got a bit carried away,” Pricely admitted, already en route to the man’s family home for what he described as a ‘quick recon mission’.

“Curtains closed. Outside light on. No Ring doorbell. No visible alarm. I hope they have a wonderful time in Spain,” Pricely smiled, as he threw on his high-vis vest and charity lanyard which served as a disguise for ‘The Ingrown Toenail Society’, a fake cause that gives him front-door credibility.

Approaching this house, Pricely continued: “I hear the weather in the south of Spain is just perfect this time of year – sunny, but not too hot,” he said while casually checking under the green recycling bin and finding a spare key left out for a family member to ‘check on the house while they’re gone’.

“Can’t wait to see his ‘obligatory after-being-robbed-blind pint’ post when he’s back.” Pricely happily concluded.
