Authorities in Delaware say a man broke into a house, got drunk and couldn't make his way back outside - so he called police for help.
Police say John Finch, 44, was trapped in the home partly because he'd broken into it before in April.
That break-in led the homeowner to change the locks so a key was needed - even inside.
Police say Finch broke in again through a window, stayed for a few days - and drank five bottles. But he was too drunk to climb out and so called police, who arrested him.
