A Dunedin student who went to retrieve his stolen cellphone found the burglar who had raided his flat was less than apologetic.
Teremoana Taokia, 52, argued with the 20-year-old victim then gave him the phone back, after urinating on it.
He came before the Dunedin District Court yesterday after admitting three burglaries, all of which occurred during a drunken spree in the city's student sector on January 17.
His co-defendant Wayne Bennett, 39, pleaded guilty to two of the break-ins.
