Perhaps he wanted to see if Conan the Barbarian flexed his muscles while he slept.

Perhaps he was curious to know what CDs he played on his car stereo.

Perhaps he was just hunting for Arnold Schwarzenegger memorabilia.

Whatever it was, Richard Sathianathan must be thanking his stars it wasn't the beefy actor he had to deal with when he was caught prowling around the Los Angeles home where Schwarzenegger, who is running for California governor, lives with wife Maria Shriver and their four children.

Sathianathan, a Canadian apparently of Indian origin, has been charged with prowling, vehicle-tampering, and petty theft.

But he has denied all the charges during a court appearance and remains in custody.

Did we just catch him growl, "I'll be back?"
