Tip-toeing intruder breaks into Mike Tyson's hotel room… as ex-boxer was sleeping

Who: Mike Tyson
What: Imitation Maori Face Tattoo
Supposedly, when asked why he got the tattoo, Tyson responded that he got it because he ‘didn’t like the way his face looked.’  Sadly, we preferred his face the way it was.

From Daily Mail UK: A tip-toeing intruder has been dubbed the world’s bravest (or most stupid) burglar – after he broke into Mike Tyson’s hotel room as the ex-boxer was sleeping.

The raider fled the suite at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas after Iron Mike, infamous for biting off an opponent’s ear in a bout, woke to the sound of rustling.

It was a lucky escape for the thief, who could have been on the end of Tyson’s powerful right hook had the heavyweight been fully alert.

Nothing was taken in the break-in and security at the resort, where top suites cost up to $1,500 per night, has now been stepped up.

Knock-out Hollywood actor Tyson, who floored a burglar as he played himself in The Hangover film after his tiger was stolen, was staying at the hotel with his family on New Year’s Eve after attending a Stevie Wonder concert.
