would-be thief

KISSIMMEE -- The cops became the criminals Friday and hoped someone would notice.

Capt. James Napier of the Kissimmee Police Department turned himself into a would-be thief when he slithered into a house through a window, then acted as if he were trying to break into cars in a busy parking lot.

The goal: Create burglaries so obvious that unsuspecting citizens would call 911 to alert police.
