According to the cops, the man, identified by his surname Sang, scaled the building's outer wall before gaining entry. He managed to steal a watch and an Apple MacBook from the office. When inside the house, the burglar gathered mobile phones and laptops, piled them onto a desk, wrote inside a notebook, left it open and stuffed it under the pile of digital devices, the police said.
"Dear boss, I took a wristwatch and a laptop. You should improve your anti-theft system. I did not take all the phones and laptops, fearing it might hurt your business," the man wrote in the note, per the outlet.
