For the thief to then post a picture of himself on your Facebook page - while wearing your winter jacket and waving a wad of your cash - is brazen in the extreme. But that's exactly what happened to Washington Post reporter Marc Fisher and his family last week. At some point between 10am and 12.45pm last Friday, a burglar forced his way into Mr Fisher's Washington, D.C. property by kicking in a door. He then proceeded to steal items including a laptop, iPod and cash from Mr Fisher's 15-year-old son. Which is when the thief felt compelled to rub salt into the wound. Mr Fisher writes: 'He opened my son's computer, took a photo of himself sneering as he pointed to the cash lifted from my son's desk, and then went on my son's Facebook account and posted the picture for 400 teenagers to see. 'In the picture, the man is wearing my new winter coat, the one that was stolen right out of the Macy's box it had just arrived in.' One police officer attending the crime scene even commented: 'I've seen a lot, but this is the most stupid criminal I've ever seen.' Although the photo shows the burglar wearing his newly-acquired coat with the hood pulled up, the full frontal shot clearly shows the burglar's face. So clear, that the reporter thought that would be the end of the matter and detectives would make an arrest almost immediately. Astonishingly, despite the seemingly watertight nature of the case, police have yet to arrest the suspect. Mr Fisher explained: 'Two officers confided that they and their colleagues rarely press hard on burglary cases because the courts almost always let thieves go with nothing more than probation. 'Maybe that's why four days after we handed over the photo, we were still waiting to hear from the detective assigned to the case.'[/release] What a moron.

Dumbest robber ever

:doh:

what a badass

It has 27 likes. :lol:

And why are the police not going after the burglar? Something is seriously screwed up here. Strangely enough, Washington D.C. has one of the highest crime rates in the nation. It's up there with Detroit and Chicago.

[QUOTE=Prismatex;26715584] Also, what 15-year-old leaves $200 in cash sitting on his desk?[/QUOTE] Well gee, you would think your house is safe place. Give the kid a goddamn break.

I want to know what all the replies are.

That is actually badass.

I think the dumbest thing about this whole ordeal is: The kid bought a Macbook. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Trolling" - verynicelady))[/highlight]

You have to be pretty god damned confident to just throw your photo up like that. Wow.

Eh, they're not going to find him and he knew that, hence why he actually posted that picture.

Gotta be embarrassing for the kid, it's still pretty funny though.

[sp]No, it's not the fact that he's black or anything, although you totally assumed it. But rather how he's posing and flashing money like that. Typical sign of their deranged pop culture. I'd say this is a social issue. People think "crime is cool" and so they do it for prestige rather than because they're desperately poor.[/sp]

If I were him, I would have M$ Painted all over my face before I post the taunting photo. Maybe paste a troll face over my face.

Okay they have a picture of the guy taken on a stolen laptop, holding stolen cash, wearing a stolen coat, and posting from the facebook account of the victim. If they don't successfully locate this guy and prosecute, I give up on life.

I always see homeless people everywhere.

[QUOTE=JDK721;26716043]gj being racist[/QUOTE] Read the spoiler. I totally called you on the assumption, though. [editline]16th December 2010[/editline] :smug:

Goddamnit Fisher.

It's a thin line between brave and stupid and in my opinion this rolls on to the stupid side.

Oh, and, when I said "their", I mean the majority of criminals and "streetfolk".

They don't just look at a picture and say "I know who that is!!", they don't know who everyone is just by one picture.

If he posted it from the kid's laptop, why does it say "Via iPhoto uploader"? That's what it says when you upload something from your iPhone/iPod.

This is just like that guy that left his facebook page open after robbing a house.
