A suspected burglar in Allentown, Pennsylvania, didn’t get away with much in a recent break-in.

Police said Maico Rosado Jr. broke into a closed bar earlier this week, The Morning Call reported.

Little did Rosado know, the bar’s general manager was sleeping in the basement.

When the shopkeeper found Rosado in the bar, he said Rosado was armed, and had stolen a $1 keepsake bill from the bar, The Morning Call reported.

A half hour after the bar break-in, police said Rosado struck again, breaking into a home by firing a shot through a window to get in.

The homeowner said after Rosado left, she noticed a plant was missing from her house.

Police eventually caught Rosado after he ransacked a woman's car where he found and took a woman's purse, The Morning Call reported.

He was arraigned Tuesday night and was being held in the county jail on $200,000 bail.
