Annoyed at not finding any cash in a bakery, a burglar left behind a threatening letter for the owner of the store in Yiyang, Hunan province, on Sunday.

"If you don't leave behind 6,000 yuan ($880) in your bakery tomorrow, you'll be responsible for the consequences," read the letter, which Yang, the bakery owner, found on his counter once he opened his shop Sunday morning.

Burglars have broken into Yang's bakery twice before. Except for the first time, they've never managed to find where Yang hides his cash.
