Dream Come True for Alleged Wrigley Field Burglar

(Chicago, IL) - The best way to wind up in jail is to break into Wrigley Field.

 

That’s what a Valparaiso man told police during his arrest for breaking into the “Friendly Confines.”

 

49 year old Daniel Smith allegedly scaled a fence to enter the iconic ballpark just over two weeks ago.

 

According to police, he stole a Cubs jersey from a souvenir shop inside the stadium then after police came knocking said the experience was "a dream come true.”

 

Before leaving the park, police say he left a note telling the Cubs security there was ''laughable.''
