WATCH: Suspected burglar gets caught on fence after trespass
Well, hopefully, he learned his lesson…
CCTV footage captured the hilarious moment a suspected burglar fell and got caught on the fence of a house after presumably trespassing and attempting to adjust a CCTV camera.

Carlo Cloete, a Western Cape resident, posted the video on Facebook, saying, "While we sleep peacefully in our house, Tarzan moves in the night."

The video begins with CCTV footage of what appears to be a quiet, peaceful street at 4:15 am on Saturday, 12 July.
After a few seconds, things quickly take a turn when the camera starts shaking and a white flash appears.
At this moment, a man also appears on screen, seemingly hanging from the security camera and looking distressed.
Struggling to hold on, he then falls—but to make matters worse for the suspect, he doesn't just fall to the ground.
As he falls, missing the fence by just a few centimetres, one of his legs actually gets caught on the fence.

The CCTV footage then shows the man hanging upside down from the fence, struggling to free himself.
Eventually, he succeeds in freeing his leg from the fence and can be seen limping away from the scene.
