Florida man wearing Batman pajamas thwarts burglary, detains suspect before police arrive

CAPE CORAL, Fla. -- A man in Florida proved that not all heroes wear capes after he thwarted a burglary and detained a suspect -- all while wearing Batman pajamas, according to the Cape Coral Police Department.

"Thanks to a quick-thinking neighbor in his Batman pajamas, another burglary suspect was put behind bars," police said in a statement.

At approximately 2:03 a.m. on Wednesday, police responded to a burglary in progress at a home in Southeast Cape Coral, but when they arrived on the scene, they found the suspect already detained by Kyle Myvett, who was dressed in a Batman onesie, officials said.

Myvett told detectives he had "gone to bed when his home security cameras alerted him to someone breaking into his vehicle," police said. So, Myvett -- still sporting the pajamas -- went outside to investigate and "saw the suspect rummaging through his truck," police said.

Batman is often referred to as the "Caped Crusader."

I don't make the rules. But, I will enforce them.
