A Minnesota man is in lock-up after checking his Facebook page from a home he broke into and forgetting to log off.
James Wood came home to find his house ransacked. His credit cards, cash and watches were gone. In there place were wet clothes from the burglar (it was raining at the time of the robbery) and the moron’s name and face because he didn’t log off Facebook while using the guy’s computer.
“World’s dumbest criminal,” said the homeowner. “I don’t know.”
Oh, but it gets dumber.
Wood posted to Facebook using Wig’s profile, saying Wig had burglarized his home. He even shared his phone number to see if someone would call with information. Wig texted him later that day.
“I replied you left a few things at my house last night, how can I get them back to you,” Wood said.
Wig agreed to meet with Wood later that night. Wood believes Wig was under the impression he would give him back some of his clothes he had left at his home in exchange for a recycled cell phone Wig had stolen.
Wood, at his friend’s house, left for home. On his way back to his house he saw and recognized Wig, from his Facebook profile, walking on the street. He immediately called police.
What could have been THAT important that the guy need to check Facebook during a robbery? Can anyone think of anything?
