COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A burglar report turns out to be anything but in a bizarre twist for Colorado Springs Police officers early Wednesday morning.

Officers said 24-year-old Kevin Gaylor had invited a woman he met on Craigslist to come to his home just after 3 a.m. on Wednesday so they could get better acquainted.

Too bad his girlfriend came home first.
