The dozy man broke into the property after propping a ladder he found in the garden against a wall and slipping through an open bathroom window\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>This suspected burglar could well be Britains dumbest thief after being filmed climbing a ladder to break into the home - of a CCTV engineer.\r<br>\r<br>The dozy crook got into the property in broad daylight after propping a ladder he found in the garden against a wall and slipping through an open bathroom window.\r<br>\r<br>But the shameless fugitives every move was captured on clear footage from the home surveillance system of victim Paul Selvester, 37, who works as a CCTV engineer.\r<br>\r<br>The crystal clear film has now been passed to police who are appealing for the public to come forward and identify him.\r<br>\r<br>He is said to have scarpered into an adjoining bedroom and leapt from a first-floor window, narrowly avoiding concrete steps below, before escaping through a neighbours garden.\r<br>\r<br>Paul, who lives with his wife and two young children and 15-month-old Labrador, said they were relieved nothing was taken or seriously damaged.\r<br>\r<br>He said: Its quite shocking the nerve of the guy. Leaving the bathroom window open and the ladder unsecured was probably, in hindsight, a little daft but its the way he just walks into the garden and does what he does.\r<br>\r<br>I think he was quite experienced in this, judging by the way he squeezed through the eight inch gap in the window and ran off after jumping from the first floor.\r<br>\r<br>Were just glad he didnt have more time to actually steal anything or enter the property when my wife or children are alone.\r<br>\r<br>Its been a massive shock for us. We live in quite a nice area and this has never happened before.
