A homeowner made light of a foiled burglary by adding hilarious recorder music to his own CCTV footage - turning it into a rather lame, real-life version of 'Mission: Impossible'.

Nate Gasser, who lives in Dallas, Texas, shared the video Thursday on YouTube, where it has been viewed more than 800,000 times. He said a 'master thief' broke into his home the previous day around 11.35am after disabling the alarm with a hammer.

Gasser said he called the police after noticing his system had been disabled and arrived home while cops confronted the man. Officers eventually handcuffed and arrested the suspect.

The break-in went from scary to hilarious when Gasser edited CCTV footage of the event and added songs from 'Mission: Impossible', 'Rocky' and 'Cops' - played on a recorder.

The 'Mission: Impossible' theme begins as the man can be seen rummaging around the front yard. The suspect manages to get inside the house.

Gasser inserted a note in the footage saying the man had disabled the alarm with a hammer, prompting Gasser to call 911 and race back home.

'He had about 30 minutes to rummage through the house, dumping out every rubber maid tote of summer clothing and cleared out all closets,' Gasser wrote on YouTube.

The recorder music starts again as a police car pulls up, this time to the sound of the 'Rocky' theme. Two officers step out of the vehicle and inside the house, where a commotion can be heard.

The officers can then be seen walking out with the suspect in handcuffs, leading him away to the sound of the 'Cops' soundtrack.

Gasser thanked the Dallas Police Department for busting the suspect.

'My eight-foot board-on-board fence, my clearly marked security signs (front and back) my two 50-pound dogs, my outdoor and indoor cameras were no match for this master thief,' he wrote.

Gasser chose to make light of the event after it ended well.
