    Florida man wearing Batman pajamas thwarts burglary, detains suspect before police arrive
    In his pajamas, Kyle Myvett detained the suspect until officials arrived.

    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.

    Moments later, Myvett "found the same suspect in his neighbor's garage and detained him until officers arrived," police said.

    Police said the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Justin Schimpl, allegedly broke into Myvett's vehicle -- along with his neighbor's -- and stole "multiple items," including two pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses worth $300 each, cash, a woman's wristlet and more than $500 in gift cards, police said.

    Schimpl allegedly claimed another man was accompanying him in this burglary, but police said the name of that person "changed multiple times" and no other suspects were found after officials searched the area.

    The suspect, who police said is "known to law enforcement from prior investigations," was charged with two counts of burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, two counts of petit theft under $750 and one count of burglary of an occupied dwelling.

    It remains unclear whether Schimpl has an attorney who can speak on his behalf. He first court appearance is scheduled on Sept. 29, according to jail records.
