A burglar broke into a house and stole several coats for "a laugh and a chase".
Arnold Rickerby, 47, entered a woman's property in Gateshead and made off with several coats. They contained receipts, train tickets and a passport belonging to the victim's son.
Residents living in the area informed the woman. When she shouted at him to give the items back, he shook his finger at her and continued to walk away.
