A burglar who feigned death after he was caught stealing a computer in northern Germany displayed a "masterstroke of acting," police said.
The 51-year-old sneaked into a company in the town of Hildesheim late Monday and tried to make off with a computer when the owner discovered him and called the police.
The man had fled into the boiler room, where they found him lying on the floor, police said in a statement. He had a pulse, but was not responding to their commands, so they called an ambulance.
Only after a doctor tried to insert a tube into the burglar's trachea to reanimate him, did he suddenly open his eyes and begin speaking.
He was diagnosed with a "masterstroke of acting" and charged with breaking and entering and attempted burglary.
