A fed-up neighbour who lived next door to a restaurant threw a molotov cocktail inside because the noise was disturbing his sleep.
Luckily the shrimp restaurant was closed when a man called Tsai threw his makeshift petrol bomb into dining room, only managing to damage a couple of chairs.
The owner of the restaurant called police in South Taiwan's Pingtung County to investigate the incident, but decided not to press charges upon hearing of the arsonist's plight.
CCTV showed the suspect riding up to the business and hurling the molotov cocktail into the entrance.

Additional footage showed Mr Tsai purchasing a bottle of petrol from a filling station earlier in the day.
He was arrested on arson charges and admitted to police that he firebombed the shrimp restaurant because its rowdy - and often drunk - customers kept him awake at night.
He usually goes to sleep between 9pm and 10pm, he told the authorities.
Mr Tsai's family revealed that he had been suffering from depression and has had a drinking problem ever since being involved in a traffic accident.
