Breaking home...nothing was broken.

Nothing happened I confirm.

What's his youtube account so we can verify?

Simply having a YouTube account does not afford one the ability to call oneself a YouTuber.

Probably happening a few times each day...nothing serious since nothing happened.

60 is not old. I'm 59 and some still stop to ask me for directions (until they notice that I'm not Japanese - but as they hear my precise delivery, they slaver thanks - runners know how to get places).

YouTuber? Sounds more like a YouLoser.

What a d head. Hopefully a long stint in the slammer is ahead. He can be an 'influencer' in the showers.

Front door?

What’s the relevance of him calling himself a Youtuber? There’s no indication that he actually is.

Pure clickbait. It makes it look like it might be another "nuisance streamer" story...and not just some drunk stumbling up to the wrong house.

Because he was intoxicated. Duh!

Fighto!

You're 60 for Gods sake. Let it go, creep, and take up a hobby befitting your age like model trains, mahjong or stamp collecting.

Drinking is a pretty popular hobby with men his age, which he seems to already enjoy.
