A burglar who raided a vulnerable man's flat returned to the scene of the crime and asked for his bank card and drugs back. Jan Kandrac had sneaked into the man's flat while he slept on the sofa and stole his TV and other items - but he left his tobacco tin and debit card behind.
The burglar pawned the man's telly before returning to flat to ask for the his possession back - an act a judge described as showing "barefaced cheek". In the weeks after the house burglary Kandrac broke into a pub and stole expensive speakers and karaoke equipment, and then entered the staff-only area of a supermarket and went through employee's coat pockets and bags.
Cardiff Crown Court heard the defendant moved to Wales from his native Slovakia as a teenager and worked in a series of labouring and factory jobs before becoming addicted to crack cocaine.
