Burglar caught in glass window

Here's an article that gleefully begins:

You’ve heard of a pain in the arse? Well here’s an arse in the pane! This would-be burglar was caught in the act as he tried to break into the London offices of coin dealers and auctioneers A.H. Baldwin.

The attempted theft took place on Sunday, March 2, but as the crook tried to force his way through the broken window the smash and grab went wrong – it was he who was grabbed by the reinforced security glass.

One of the proprietors was on hand, and snapped the picture reproduced with the article.
