He was caught with his pants down.

A bumbling burglar was stripped of his shorts when he tried to slip into a Florida auto dealership through a small hole.

He allegedly opened a wall hole at the Lakeland dealership and wiggled in.

But the tight squeeze left him in his undies — and a surveillan­ce camera captured the dork move.

Now they’re in a sticky situation.

Three bandits swiped $20,000 worth of maple syrup, led cops on a highspeed chase — and were tossed in jail.

In the most Canadian crime ever, the bandits allegedly snatched the sweet goop from a truck in Alberta and led cops on a wild chase.

A Japanese festival set a “hot” new world record when it ladled up a record volume of soup.

The Yamagata Imoni Festival dished out taro-based imoni to 12,695 people from a massive pot, earning the Guinness World Record for most soup served in eight hours.

The ingredient­s included 1.2 tons of beef, 3,500 spring onions, 184 gallons of soy sauce, 24 gallons of sake, 441 pounds of sugar and 1,600 gallons of water.

Store rules be “dammed”! Two beavers scurried into a convenienc­e store in Massachuse­tts and began sniffing around the snacks.

The industriou­s, flat-tailed river-dam builders scurried through an automatic door at the Cumberland Farms store in Fitchburg, forcing workers to shoo them away empty-pawed.

They likely came from the nearby Nashua River.

Maybe it’s the luck of the Irish linguists.

A New Zealander lessened his speech impediment by putting on an Irish accent.

Nick Prosser, 28, had a stutter all his life and enlisted many specialist­s — but in vain.

But when he playfully tried an Irish accent, it vanished on its own, he said.
