Disappointed at not being able to find enough cash and valuables at the residence of a government official in Madhya Pradesh’s Dewas district, a burglar left behind a note there asking “why the house was locked when there was no money” kept at home, police said on Monday.

A copy of the note also surfaced on social media in which the burglar wrote “Jab paise nahi they toh lock nahi karna tha collector(when there was no money, it should not have been locked, collector).”
