Time for a nap, after drinking some wine and spending time on Facebook.

A woman has allegedly broken into an Adelaide office, drank their wine, had a nap and left – leaving her Facebook account logged in on one of the computers.

To add insult to the now not-so-mysterious woman’s injuries, the office filmed the whole caper.

Online live broadcast music studio Soundpond.net founder Adam Daze said despite high security at his first floor office at 264 Rundle Street, the woman was able to break in through a window about 5.30am.

“As it stands we are looking to proceed with charges,” Daze told InDaily.

“We’ve got quite secure premises. We believed she exited [nightclub] Sugar and entered a secure zone, and had a nap, before breaking in to Soundpond.”

Daze is puzzled by her actions, but believes she was trying to get back into Sugar to retrieve a lost handbag.

He has detailed the alleged break-in, including screen shots from security footage, on his website.

The woman appears to have entered through a window, had a drink of water, followed by wine, before logging into her Facebook and Youtube accounts on the Soundpond computers.

“So it’s now about 7:30am and broad daylight. Our adventurer grabs a Soundpond.net Hoodie and makes herself a cosy little nap nest under our table. She stays there another hour or so.”

Daze said the woman left through the window at 10am, throwing the hoodie back in, after being in the office for about five hours.

When he checked the computer he found the woman had left her Facebook account, including the chat with friends open.

“We’re really unsure how we feel about it, but damn, what a story,” Daze said on the website.

Soundpond are preparing to move to a new premises, also on Rundle Street, in a few months and have requested the landlord increase security including installing grating to prevent people entering from a back laneway entrance.
