A young man identified as Joseph Patrick shocked a couple after he was caught lurking around their home in the middle of the night.
Initially believed to be a thief, Patrick was apprehended by the homeowner, who noticed unusual sounds and movement near the window.
Upon questioning, he made a startling confession, claiming he was not there to steal.
Instead, he disclosed an unusual habit of sneaking around people’s houses at night to listen to couples’ intimate moments through their windows.
According to Patrick, he would then engage in self-gratification and exit right after, rather than attempting any theft.
The couple reportedly raised an alarm, and residents gathered at the scene to catch a glimpse of the unusual thief.
The incident has drawn a mix of shock and concern among residents and on social media.
