Police say that a would-be burglar broke into a suburban New Jersey home and hid underneath a bed unnoticed for three days before the owner finally found him.
The terrifying ordeal occurred in Spotswood, a small tight-knit community of less than 10,000 people.
Investigators say the suspect, Jason Hubbard, sneaked into the house on Ellenel Boulevard on May 7 while the owner took out the garbage.
He then made his way into a spare room and hid under the bed.

Scene: The bizarre burglary occurred in May in Ellenel Boulevard, Spotswood (pictured), however it was only made public by police on Wednesday
Hubbard is alleged to have stayed under the bed for three days.
In that time he even he used an outlet to charge his four cell phones, according to NBC News.
Police suspect he was waiting for the right time to rob the house.
But finally, at about 7pm on May 10, the homeowner heard a noise in the guest room and went to check it out.
The bizarre burglar was only made public by police on Wednesday.
How did he go 3 days without going to the bathroom? Isn't that impossible?
This is exactly what I thought. Didn't he need to go? Didn't he get hungry? Why not just throw in the towel after about 12 hours and try another house?
I thought about the bathroom thing too. I would be totally freaked out if I found out there was a stranger in my house with me for three days & I didn't know it.
I suspect that he was not looking to burgle the place, more that he found a place out of the weather with a bathroom and a refrigerator when she wasn't home.
Now that he's been caught, he get free room and board in a jail.

something like that happened to a friend of mine. She kept noticing that she was missing food and little things were moved around her apartment. It turned out that every day when she left for work a homeless man was breaking in through a window with a broken lock and hanging out eating her food, showering, and watching tv in her apartment.

OMG - At least he left before she got home. How did she find out?

one of her neighbors finally noticed the guy climbing in the window and called the police.
ETA: of course by that time she thought she was losing her mind and imaging things or sleep walking or something.

I had a roommate once that we kicked out & took his key. We didn't know he was sneaking back into the house while we were at work until our neighbor told us. He was pushing our grill over to the back of the house & climbing on it & climbing over the dummy railing on our slider & letting himself into our second story kitchen. We didn't lock that slider because we left it open with the screen in the spring. We started locking it after that.
I guess you could call it that, lily. Except people usually squat in unoccupied buildings/homes. My friend was beyond freaked out.
ETA: I think that that man's actions fall more into the categories of breaking and entering and stealing.

That's burglary.
It can be a felony offense.
I'd be freaked out too.

Wouldn't you "feel" something wasn't right? Wouldn't your "spidey " senses be tingling?

IDK. I would hope so but if he was under the bed in guest room I probably wouldn't know since I don't go in there. I would think my cats would get a feeling though.
