Thief Posts His Photo To Facebook Victim's Account

Posted by samzenpus on from the criminal-status-update dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Washington Post reporter Marc Fisher discovered his house had been burgled; money, a winter coat, an iPod and his son's laptop were stolen. Imagine his surprise when Facebook friends of his 15-year-old son reported that a photo of the apparent thief, wearing Fisher's coat and holding a wad of notes, had been uploaded to his son's Facebook account. How addicted do you have to be to a social network to post a status update and upload your photo *while* you're burgling someone's house?"

    Which is why someone should find him, beat him within an inch of his life and post a picture of themselves hoisting his barely-breathing body into a dumpster.

    Uh, yeah, sure. The UK is just a complete cesspit, and have you seen those darkies who've moved in next door? I don't like 'em, but it's better than them Irish. Shifty lot them Micks. Should have hung the lot of 'em after Birmingham. Just think what it'll do to the house prices if the street is full of Pakis! Someone should complain to the Daily Mail.

    At BurglarCon2010, there was a Q&A panel of professional burglars to amend the RFC and petition its guild members to at least make sure the house is empty beforehand by checking FB accounts and status updates.

    Brilliant! Now they just have to find the guy who took the laptop, get the laptop back, and dust it for prints!
