Thunder God chases burglar out window

A man who arrived home from a Hogmanay fancy dress party scared off a burglar – dressed as Norse god Thor.

 

Building firm boss Torvald Alexander, 38, was wearing his God of Thunder outfit – which comprised a red cape and silver-winged helmet – when he spotted the burglar rifling through a desk in his front room it was reported.

Mr Alexander, who runs Alexander & Summers in Edinburgh, said the burglar threw himself out of a first-floor window of his £350,000 Inverleith home when he confronted him.

He reportedly said: "As soon as he saw me, his eyes went wide with terror.

"He looked like he'd had a few drinks and decided to do a late night break-in but he hadn't counted on the God of Thunder living here."

Is this a case of self-defense, or self-defenestration?
