A young man from Tianjin who had never met his sweetheart's family got his chance when he was taken for a burglar while outside her house in the wee hours last week.

Having escorted his girlfriend home at midnight that day, he stayed outside her house and looked around out of curiosity.

Seeing a stranger looking into his house, the girl's father mistook him for a burglar and called his neighbours for help.
