Michael turned 35 on Monday, August 17. But what was a celebration night at his rented Macgregor home turned to disbelief within hours.
It was birthday bad luck for Michael when burglars allegedly broke into his house, stole his entire gaming set-up down to the last cable, and drove off in his car.
The suspected offenders then allegedly attempted to break into another home on the very next street, leaving its residents shaken as they watched the masked men live on a doorbell camera.
