A “Florida man” in Batman pajamas took down a burglary suspect in Cape Coral who was caught red-handed stealing from vehicles and garages early Wednesday morning.
Kyle Myvett was alerted to the burglar by his home security cameras before springing into action and detaining the intruder. He credited his pajamas for giving him the confidence boost he needed to grab the criminal.
The incident began when Myvett noticed his cameras showing someone breaking into his truck. Still wearing his Batman pajamas, he rushed outside and confronted the suspect, identified as Justin Schimpl, who was rummaging through the vehicle.
Myvett then tracked Schimpl to a neighbor’s garage, where he grabbed hold of the burglar’s shirt and wrist, warning him not to resist.
The Cape Coral Police Department wrote on Facebook:
On August 27, 2025, at 2:03 AM, Cape Coral Police officers responded to a burglary in progress at a home in Southeast Cape Coral.
When officers arrived, they found the suspect already detained — by a neighbor wearing Batman pajamas.
The neighbor, Kyle Myvett, told detectives he had gone to bed when his home security cameras alerted him to someone breaking into his vehicle. Still dressed in his Batman pajamas, Kyle went outside to investigate and saw the suspect rummaging through his truck. Moments later, he found the same suspect in his neighbor’s garage and detained him until officers arrived.
“Thanks to a quick-thinking neighbor in his Batman pajamas, another burglary suspect was put behind bars,” the post concluded.
“Without the person seeing me, I grabbed a hold of their shirt and right wrist and told him listen, don’t try to get away, I have plenty of experience with this,” Myvett told local station Fox 4.
Myvett previously worked in corrections.
“I’m really glad I had my Batman pajamas on because that gave me the extra confidence I needed,” he added.
Schimpl has been charged with two counts of Burglary of an Unoccupied Conveyance (Unarmed), two counts of Petit Theft Under $750, and one count of Burglary of an Occupied Dwelling.
“He was taken into custody, he was arrested and charged, he’s facing multiple charges today thanks to Kyle and his Batman pajamas,” Lisa Greenberg with the Cape Coral Police Department told the station.
