A BURGLAR used his victims' computer to access porn while spending time in their empty caravan home Malvern, Wor-cester Crown Court was told.
Adam Smith knew his neighbours were on holiday from the residential site in Birchwood Drive, Stocks Lane, over the Christmas period last year, said Paul Whitfield, prosecuting.
There was evidence from beer cans and cigarette butts that he had made himself at home for some time. His DNA was found on several items and £750 worth of stolen property was found hidden beneath a nearby trailer.
Smith, aged 22, and recently living in Doncaster, was jailed for 12 months after pleading guilty to burglary.
His barrister, Andrew Evans, pleaded for leniency because Smith had stopped drinking and had a five-month old child.
But deputy circuit judge Michael Mott said it was a mean offence as Smith knew his neighbours were away.
"Neighbours should look out for each other, not burgle each other," he said.
