Young girl's composure stifles cat burglar's MO

A cat burglar was detained thanks to a girl who remained remarkably calm and polite when the intruder suddenly appeared on her balcony in Shenzhen special economic zone, Guangdong province, on Monday.

The felon, surnamed Chen, was the one who got the shock when he climbed onto the balcony of a 15th-floor apartment where teenager Jia Yue was at home alone in the city's Nanshan district about 9:30 pm.
