Suspect leaves Facebook account on computer at crime scene. FAIL

You know all those doofy people who are always checking their Facebook accounts every 27 seconds and posting annoying status messages detailing the minutia of their breathtakingly boring lives?

Do you ever wonder what they DO with their time when they're not posting and poking?
Apparently, they're burglarizing houses.

According to The Journal in Martinsburg, W.Va., police were led to a sticky-fingered suspect after he checked his Facebook at the crime scene - and didn't log off.

(Now that's a way to FAIL yourself to jail! Kudos!)

Police say a 19-year-old dude crawled into a home through a bedroom window and swiped two diamond rings.

But before he left the scene, they say he used the victim's computer to get his Facebook on.

When the woman got home and noticed things were amiss, she told police she checked her computer and - lo and behold - a stranger's account greeted her.

Thanks to some dedicated (read: ridiculously easy) policing, the cops were able to track the suspect down and charge him with one count of felony daytime burglary.

Friend. Request. Denied.

daytime?? is it different if its nighttime?

miguelut said:

Yes -- it is different in the daytime. It's a historical thing that goes back to the common law. Under common law, burglary could only happen at night. Stupid, but true.

Actually it's burglary day or night. The penalty is less for one.

Sometimes, whenever stupid people begin to annoy me, I just pause for a moment & think of the substantial entertainment value that they provide.
