Tommy Gill obviously hasn't been going to bed early enough; what other explanation is there for being found fast asleep in a child's bed - surrounded by stolen possessions?

A mother and her two children arrived home at about 11 o'clock at night after having been to a family get together. The 10 year old girl pointed out that the light was on, which it shouldn't have been. Sensing something was up, the mother sent her two children into the kitchen for milk and cookies, whereupon the family realized that the back door had been smashed in.

Gill was found fast asleep in the 12 year-old-boy's bed and, according to the children's mother, it took, police quite a while to wake him up. Twenty-seven year old Gill had picked up a rucksack and stuffed the boy's new X box computer and games into it. He also raided the boy's money box which contained 120 pounds he had saved up for his holiday. Having stuffed the cash down his trousers, Gill headed upstairs - and promptly fell asleep.

After he was arrested Gill told police he had taken 15 Valium tablets and was deeply sorry to the family for what he had done.

Gill, who has been branded 'Goldilocks' by the police, will appear for sentencing at Portsmouth Crown Court next month.
