Philippine police chased down an unfit thief on Tuesday after he ran out of breath and asked his pursuers for a "time out".
Buenceso said the man and an accomplice broke into a house in the Philippine capital and stole two expensive mobile phones. Screams from the residence alerted a local police patrol, which gave chase.
The robber asked for a "time out" using hand signals.
It's refreshing to know that stupidity is universal.
