"I was gaining on him, and knew he wasn't going far so got the boys to cordon off the area," Mr Albrook said.
"Me out there in all my glory - I did notice I run faster naked."
After feeling comfortable the intruder had been trapped, he quickly nipped home and picked up his prized didgeridoo before running back to the scene.
Speaking with reporters on Monday, he said he intended on playing “a couple of quick tunes” when he returned his instrument.
The suspect, a 32-year-old Fulham Gardens man, was arrested a short time later by police.
He was charged with aggravated serious criminal trespass and theft and is due to face court in August.
