Torvald Alexander, 38, a construction firm manager who stands at 6 feet tall, said he ran after the burglar with his red cape and silver-winged helmet still in place, making for an intimidating sight, The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

As soon as he saw me his eyes went wide with terror, Alexander said of the burglar. He looked like he had had a few drinks and decided to do a late night break in, but he hadn't counted on the God of Thunder living here.

I had just got back from a fancy dress New Year's party and because I have a Norwegian name I decided to go as Thor, he said.
