Nicolas Cage Nearly Burgled by Naked Guy

When you're a successful and rich actor with valuable things like dinosaur skulls decorating your abode, you've got to be prepared for unwanted intruders. TMZ reports:

TMZ has learned Robert Furo was arrested at Nicolas Cage's crib in Newport Beach at 2:00 AM yesterday morning, after the actor woke up and found the guy wandering inside his digs. Sources tell us when Cage confronted the guy, he realized that the jacket Furo was wearing was actually his. Even better, the dude was NAKED. Creepy!

Newport Beach Police tell TMZ that they received a call at 1:27 AM from a gate guard who said he received a call from Cage, saying that a strange male was in his home. Cage's wife and son were in the home, when Cage, without incident, escorted the intruder into the backyard, where he was arrested a short time later by police. There were no signs of forced entry, and no altercation. Amazing.

The Orange County D.A. has just charged Furo with burglary. He's currently being held in the OC Jail on $50,000 bail. A short time later, the O.C. District Attorney requested that bail be raised to $100,000, and the judge granted the request.

UPDATE 4:14PM PDT: Furo, 6' tall and 199 lbs., listed his occupation as "tailor," and was arraigned minutes ago on the felony burglary charge, to which he plead not guilty. He was then remanded to custody. He is due back in court for a pre-trial hearing on October 10.

So many questions. Was Furo naked when he entered Cage's home? Or did he encounter the coat closet and feel compelled to leave his entire ensemble in a heap on the floor in favor of a genuine piece of Captain Corelli's Mandolin memorabilia? And if he was naked when he entered the home, how is it that no search lights or security patrols caught sight of his apparently very pasty skin? Did he see Cage on Leno or The View or some such and think to himself, "That jacket is a perfect specimen. I must acquire it and study it's form for the greater good of the tailoring industry"? Or is he just a Nic Cage super fan who's watched Cage steal shit in film after film (Raising Arizona, Gone in 60 Seconds, National Treasure) and thought that theft would bring him closer to his idol?
