A Perth man has allegedly been caught stealing more than $10,000 worth of furniture from Ikea - including the kitchen sink.
Scarborough Police Detective-Sergeant Chris Martin claimed the flat-packing thief began his spending spree by paying for some of the goods at the Innaloo store with a dud cheque.
"He would then return the goods for store credit and go back and purchase more items with the credit to basically kit out his house," he said.
"He would have a credit so it didn't matter if the cheque bounced."
The man, during his repeat visits allegedly stole two lounges, a dining room table, some large cabinets and a sink and tap-wear.
"Basically everything he needed to set up his loungeroom and kitchen," Detective-Sergeant Martin said.
He was charged on Wednesday with two counts of fraud.
Although to be fair, if he had to assemble all that flat-pack furniture himself, he's probably been punished enough.
