This burglar will be scarred for life, which again proves crime is just not worth the trouble sometimes.

According to UPI, a 26-year-old was breaking into a house in Hamilton, New Zealand and came face to face with the owner of the house, swinging from the ceiling after he had committed suicide.

So naturally he started screaming and called police. The neighbors also heard his terrified scream and called the cops as well.

Police say they likely will not press charges since the young man has been traumatized enough.

Police also do not suspect any foul play in the man's death.
