COLUMBUS, Ohio (KTRK) -- Police in Columbus, Ohio say a homeowner was listening to the 80's hit "Whip It" and it was so loud that the music drowned out the sound of two burglars breaking in.

Security footage shows the two men going after the TV and taking off.

The homeowner was upstairs and didn't hear a thing.

Police say the door was left unlocked.
