What would you do if you caught this young man sneaking to swim in your pool?

I have a few ideas!

A man was caught sneaking into a backyard swimming pool in Australia on multiple occasions — and he gave an unexpected reason for doing so.

Holly Stevens of New Farm, a suburb of Brisbane, says that home security footage caught a man using her family’s backyard pool at least four times since January, according to local outlet News 9.

"It just feels a little bit entitled," she said, adding that her family installed better CCTV cameras after the first few incidents, enabling them to more clearly see the culprit accessing their property.

"It's just really odd, like just bizarre," she said.

Several local news outlets recently ran stories on the incident, which included images of the mysterious man. This led to him being recognized by friends and relatives.

The man then quickly came forward and reported himself to Fortitude Valley Police.

“To me, it looked like a display home, I didn’t think anyone lived there, so I just decided I was hot and thought I’d go for a swim,” the man, who identified himself only as "Matt," 34, explained in an interview with 7NEWS.

"To be honest, I didn’t sleep for a couple of days,” he continued, adding, “I didn’t mean to make anyone feel unsafe.”

Matt told the outlet that local police gave him a warning and told him not to do it again. He also said that his friends and family have since been teasing him about the incident.

“My cousins have been calling up and asking if I want to go for a swim at theirs. And my mates have been saying, ‘Yeah, come round for a swim, bro,’ “ he said.

Matt additionally told the outlet that he has since attempted to personally apologize to the homeowners, but they have yet to respond.

A Queensland Police spokesperson confirmed to NewsWire that they received a formal report of an “an unknown man entering a [...] backyard and swimming in the property’s pool on several occasions,” adding that they spoke to Matt on April 30 and he was “cautioned for one count of trespass.”

To my ears, the Australian accent is so ugly.

Whiney Aussie—boo hoo.

I love the lame lawyer “explaining” the common law.

Aussie English is criminal.

I would inspect him for proper anal hygiene and if he passes muster I would allow him to swim but only in the nude.

I'd prefer Burt Lancaster.

Matt is a naughty boy, and he needs a good spanking!
