A "professional burglar" ordered a taxi to transport himself and the 65inch television and 55 bottles of alcohol he had just stolen during an early hours break-in, a court has heard.
An intoxicated Richard Nixon had been trying door handles on parked cars and vans in the area and taking items from unlocked vehicles before burgling a summer house and stealing the telly and booze. The whereabouts of the TV and the dozens of bottles of wines and spirts remain unknown.
Sending Nixon - who has more than 100 previous offences on his record - back to prison, a judge said it seemed the 37-year-old had not learned his lesson from his past offending.
