A teenaged thief broke into the home of an elderly couple in Palo Alto through their window at midnight. He did not steal(偷) their home, but he did wander into their bedroom to wake them up. He asked the strangers for their Wi-Fi password. The thief had his face covered. The couple threw him out of the house before calling the police and the boy sped away on the bike. The bike was stolen from the yard of a woman the night before. He was arrested by the police a block from the house.

As a teenager, his name and photo are not being released to the public. However, he is being charged with prowling(潜行) and possibly petty theft. The stolen bike has been returned to its owners, and it is no longer serving as his getaway vehicle(逃跑工具). We hope this teenager will be a good person in the future, and he can get back to the normal life.
