Burglar Bill

Everything in Burglar Bill's life is stolen, from the toast, marmalade and coffee he has for breakfast to the bed he sleeps in. One night when he is out burgling, he comes across a box with holes in the lid on a doorstep.

Who's that creeping down the street? Who's that climbing up the wall? Who's that coming through the window? Who's that?... It's Burglar Bill.
