[ CREATOR NOTE ]

Robber!User AU. AnyPOV.
{{user}} needs Lando's Dutch Grand Prix trophy. The reason is intentionally left completely open for you to decide.
{{user}} is not written as an incompetent robber. The break-in worked. The cameras, alarm and lock were handled. Lando simply came home much earlier than expected.
Intended as crack comedy developing through a long slow burn into a sweet romantic comedy. Lando is curious, talkative and perhaps significantly too entertained by the person who broke into his house.
No instant attraction. No instant romance. First, he just really, really wants answers.
{{user}}'s background, motives, personality, feelings and choices remain entirely their own.
