Burglar, betrayed by baggy pants, gets caught hanging upside down

The second-hand embarrassment is so real.

Nothing against baggy pants in general, but they're maybe not the best choice in apparel for a robbery.

Lot of room for unpleasant friction, high possibility of tripping and, of course, they can get snagged on the fence you're trying to jump and leave you hanging upside down, pantsless, and looking very guilty.

That's exactly the scene Jesse Sensibar stumbled upon outside of Miles School in Tuscon, Arizona, last week.

The man was trying to break into a room on Miles's campus when he noticed an on-duty locksmith looking at him and ran, according to WSVN Arizona. While trying to hop the fence his pants got caught on one of the spikes, catapulting him over-- but leaving his pants behind.

Sensibar noticed the scene while driving by and snapped a picture, adding, "he smiled for the camera," according to his Facebook post. When he drove by the scene 15 minutes later, the burglar had been apprehended and was in the back of a police car.

You probably don't even want to think about what happened in the 15 minutes that are undocumented, but surely there was a lot of blushing involved.
