Another Crook Caught Because of Posting on Facebook

24.06.2012

Last year a thief in Georgia used a cell phone he found in a stolen purse to on the victim's Facebook page. He likely didn't know the phone's owner had it set up to automatically post photos to the social network.

And in April a was busted after a friend posted a photo of him on Facebook with a TV he'd stolen.

Charles Holden stole a plasma TV, a PlayStation, and some games from a house in which he formerly had roomed. He then sold the goods right outside the door while one of his friends snapped a picture of the transaction.

The victim, suspecting Holden, snooped around on his Facebook page as well as those of his friends and spotted the incriminating photo, which led to an arrest.

And this one is classic: A Pennsylvania man back in 2009 on a computer in the home he was in the process of robbing. He forgot to log out before taking off with his loot.
