Burglar flees in terror after homeowner returns from New Year party..dressed as Thor, God of Thunder

[chucktaylor]

It's worth it just for the photo.


A muscle-bound building boss who came home from a New Year's Eve fancy dress party kitted out as Thor scared off a burglar by charging at him in his superhero outfit.
Six-foot-tall fitness fanatic Torvald Alexander, 38, was wearing a full God of Thunder outfit - complete with flying red cape and tinfoil silver-winged helmet - when he spotted the raider in his front room rifling through a desk.
Mr Alexander, who runs building firm Alexander & Summers in Edinburgh, Scotland, said the burglar threw himself out of a first-floor window of his £350,000 home in the Inverleith area of the city when he opened the door and confronted him

2. That get-up inspires something in me, but it is not terror!

3. Has flvegan scared off any burglars?

[sasquatch]

6. He's got over a dozen Pit-Bulls so he doesn't need to

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. Owning a dozen pit bulls wouldn't stop me from dressing as a superhero.

Besides, pit bulls are nothing compared to the dogs Grandpa Simpson remembers, that shot bees from their mouths. Now THAT'S a security system.

13. I believe that was Homer.

4. I would also be terrified of a baked potato wearing a cape

5. They probably thought if he was crazy enough to dress up in a crappy superhero outfit...

he might be crazy enough to actual try to do something stupid and stop them. :P

Actually if this is in the UK, they probably didn't have GUNS. So they'd have reason to be afraid of a single person coming home.

7. Did he have the hammer?

The costume is nothing without Mjöllnir to strike fear into the hearts of evildoers.

8. Reynolds, God of Tinfoil!

Seriously, the guy obviously has a Thor complex and a good bit of money, and THIS is the best he could come up with?

Wonder what his codpiece is made of.

On second thought, no I don't.

14. Maybe he wanted a homemade costume. Give him a break.

9. If silver, winged helmets are outlawed, only outlaws, well, you know the rest. nt

[undeterred]

10. That's a fake Thor.

This is the real one.

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. I'd be less frightened of the potential real thing.

A body-builder in tin foil...that's unnerving.

(Why can't the rich guy afford the above costume??)

15. As Thor's girlfriend said . . .

You're Thor?

I'm tho thor I can't ever pith!

16. Wonder how many boxes of foil he used?

:shrug: :rofl:
