Nicolas Cage to Stranger -- WTF You Doin' in My House?!

Imagine waking up to find a strange man roaming around your home. Nicolas Cage just lived the nightmare.

TMZ has learned Robert Furo was arrested at Cage's crib in Newport Beach at 2:00 AM yesterday morning, after the actor woke up and found the guy wandering inside his digs. Sources tell us when Cage confronted the guy, he realized that the jacket Furo was wearing was actually his. Even better, the dude was NAKED. Creepy!

Newport Beach Police tell TMZ that they received a call at 1:27 AM from a gate guard who said he received a call from Cage, saying that a strange male was in his home. Cage's wife and son were in the home, when Cage, without incident, escorted the intruder into the backyard, where he was arrested a short time later by police. There were no signs of forced entry, and no altercation. Amazing.

The Orange County D.A. has just charged Furo with burglary. He's currently being held in the OC Jail on $50,000 bail. A short time later, the O.C. District Attorney requested that bail be raised to $100,000, and the judge granted the request.

UPDATE 4:14PM PDT: Furo, 6' tall and 199 lbs., listed his occupation as "tailor," and was arraigned minutes ago on the felony burglary charge, to which he plead not guilty. He was then remanded to custody. He is due back in court for a pre-trial hearing on October 10.

51. Yea but you guys left one thing out, or one of many I'm sure - HOW did he get in & WHY was he there at 1:27am hmm? Obviously Cage wasn't too stressed if he called the police and escorted the guy to his backyard, sans no incident? Wonder if he was an old drinkin buddy of Cage'

54. LA has turned into a 3rd world Nation like Argentina or Brazil, all the Hollywood stars should move to Northern California to escape the rampant crime

56. I don't understand how someone who is caught red-handed can plead "not guilty". He's guilty. He was there. It doesn't make sense. I'm glad Nic Cage and his little family were unharmed. How scary that must have been. The other thing I don't understand is if he has enough security to have "gates" and a "security guard", how did this lunatic get inside the house? I remember thinking the same thing when George Harrison got stabbed by an intruder. What's going on?

57. Scary

58. why didn't this 'tailor' just make himself a friggin jacket..... must not be that good

59. Cage should have dropped him with a .45 slug to the chest. Would have been totally justified, in defense of his family. Now he just has to deal with years of anxiety about whether this stalker will come back again after he undoubtedly gets off. I should get into security for these people, because I wonder if the ones out there doing it now now their heads from their A$$es. If any of you celebrities want a badass Marine Iraq vet to manage your security, hit me up, I'd never allow this crap to happen. kn071470 (at) yahoo.com

60. It's his lover. The wife awoke to find them and Cage had to act like it was a burgler......why else would he be naked. Just a thought
