A sprung would-be clothes thief left his loot strewn across a Dandenong North lawn.
He entered a Janice Grove home through an unlocked front door just after 8pm on Sunday 28 August.
Police allege he picked up a plastic washing basket full of clean clothing and walked out of the house.
The victim, a 43-year-old man, saw the front door open and peered outside to find his washing in the hands of the intruder.
The would-be thief verbally abused and threatened the homeowner, threw the washing basket at the front door and walked away, leaving clothes scattered across the front lawn.
