(CBS/AP) OWENSBORO, Ky. - Police say they believe a western Kentucky man was out looking to steal from unlocked cars, when he picked the wrong car, at the wrong house.

So you might be able to guess what happened to alleged car thief Sean Graham.

Daviess County Sheriff's Deputy Ed Hoskins said he found the 24-year-old Graham, of Owensboro, going through his car on Sunday night. Hoskins said Graham looked at him and then tried to casually walk away, but the deputy grabbed his arm to prevent his escape, the Messenger-Inquirer reported.

Graham is charged with burglary and receiving stolen property.

Hoskins, who is a former state trooper, says Graham "picked the wrong house."
