Anti-drinking campaigns tend to focus on things like cirrhosis of the liver and drunk driving, but really they should also include all the stupid things that people end up doing when they're drunk.

Stupid things like losing their keys and then breaking into the wrong apartment. Stupid things like 25-year-old Gainesville resident Brett David Tobin did.


After a night of drinking Tobin arrived back at his apartment complex in the wee hours of the morning, according to The Gainesville Sun. He realized he had lost his keys, so instead of calling a locksmith or finding out if he could crash at a friend's place, he reckoned he might as well smash his own window.

Problem was he didn't have the right apartment. Tobin lives in apartment 427. He preceded to smash the front window of apartment 527.

The two people who live in the apartment heard the glass break and stayed in the back bedroom while calling police.

Meanwhile, Tobin had climbed through the window and begin to take off his shoes. Police arrived before he could figure out his own mistake.

Tobin was arrested on charged of criminal mischief and trespassing.
