Deputies surround burglar in Oregon home, find out suspect is Roomba trapped in bathroom

The initial call came in from someone reporting that a stranger was in her bathroom, and that the person had the bathroom door locked, the sheriff's office said Tuesday in a post online.

She said she could see shadows moving under the door.

Within minutes several deputies surround the home, calling for a K9 team as backup. They say they could hear a rustling noise coming from the bathroom.

After calling to the “suspect” several times over a loudspeaker, deputies went into the home with their guns drawn. After opening the bathroom door, deputies say they found an automated robot vacuum crashing around on the floor.

 

And, apparently, it backs up Einstein's long-ago posited Theory of Relativity.

Apparently in orbit successfully, with all three booster stages landing intact.
