'My Dad's burgling your house'

A Dutchman who found two children in a strange car was stunned when they said their parents were inside his house, burgling him.

The 31-year-old man returned from work to find the car in the drive of his home in Pieterburen, near Groningen, reports Nu.nl.

Two children were sitting on the back seat so the man asked them where their father was and was told he was "robbing" the house.

The man rushed inside to find a man and a woman who immediately ran out and drove off with the children.

The man could not catch the burglars, who did not steal anything, but was able to describe the whole family to the police.
