"When they came down the next morning they found the kitchen window had been forced and property had been taken.
"They called the police and witnesses told them they had seen the defendant getting into a taxi with a large television set. He was later arrested."
Way stole the television, a Nintendo Wii and 20 DVDs from the east Hull property.
In a victim impact statement read to the court, the mum said she is thinking of moving house after the burglary.
She said: "I'm looking to move after this. I'm a single mum with two young children.
"I've been left feeling very frightened and vulnerable and I don't like to be in on my own.
"I'm also worried about my children's safety.
"They were asleep at the time, just a few doors away, when he entered the house."
Way, of Valiant Drive, east Hull, pleaded guilty to burglary.
The court heard it was the fifth home Way has burgled.
His barrister John Thackray said: "He knows he is facing a custodial sentence.
"There has been a lot going on in his life.
"His partner is expecting their child."
Way also admitted stealing an £8 cake from the Co-op in Greenwich Avenue, Hull, on May 13, groceries from the Co-op on May 12 and possessing cannabis.
Judge David Tremberg, sentencing Way to two years and nine months, told him: "You are just a persistent house burglar.
"You have got a rotten record for house burglary, not to mention all the other stuff.
"Here you are again back before the court for house burglary and offences of theft and drugs.
"Some people never recover from the sense of instability and insecurity they feel once they have been burgled and, quite clearly, what you did left this complainant feeling extremely vulnerable."

“Frank Tomato Gary Way
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My mistake It was so clear
I nicked a plasma and rang a taxi
I've lived a life crime
I am just scum and i'm a druggie
And more, much more than this, Im scum bag Gary Way
Drugs, I've had a few
But then again, what scum doesn't
I did what I had to do and saw it through without intellegence
I planned each burgled house, each shamefull job to fund my habit
And more, much more than this, Im scum bag Gary Way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
That I am thick and ugly too
But through it all, when there was doubt
I asked my girl and she spelled it out
I faced it all and I stood tall Im scum bag Gary Way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, I'm just a loser
And now, as tears subside, I find jailed it's not amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, they got me, Im scum bag Gary Way
For I'm not a man, a man im not
I dont have anything , I have naught
To say the things I truly feel and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows That I got caught Im scum bag Gary Way
Yes, Im low life Gary way”

“Look at the state of it. Yet another police informant, filthy little baghead doing a holiday stint at my expense. Hope when it gets out it does a massive load of smack, overdoses and dies alone with soiled pants.”

“The look on his face says 'wheres my next fix?' thats all he thinks about. Another on the prison merry go round. He'll be back in, whinging about the choice of TV channels, the thickness of the mattress and the quality of the pizza on fridays.”
