Life's no fairytale

Feb 4 2008

There was no fairy tale ending for a Malaysian man who copied Goldilocks.

The man broke into an empty house in north-eastern Malaysia, helped himself to cookies in the kitchen and then went to sleep in a child's bedroom, where he was discovered when the family returned home after a shopping trip, police and news reports said.

The man, who later tested positive for drugs, woke up only when roused by police officers, who were summoned by the shocked family in the north-eastern state of Terengganu late on Saturday, state crime investigation chief Mohamad Hazam Abdul Halim said.
