A woman who climbed through her neighbour's bedroom window brazenly walked out wearing her stolen winter boots. Eleonora Fitzgerald, 33, alerted the terrified woman to her presence by banging around as she was sat in the living room of her ground floor flat.

After walking into her bedroom, the victim found Fitzgerald, of Stockport, ‘rummaging’ through her things. She shouted at her to get out, at which point Fitzgerald left wearing her new gifted winter boots.

The woman later noticed she had also taken a dress, camera, TV and her car keys - which were never recovered. That same afternoon Fitzgerald burgled another house nearby, after breaking the lock on the back gate and smashing the lounge window.
