Man Doesn't Log Out of Facebook at the Home He Burglarized

In Minnesota, a 26-year-old man broke into a home and burglarized it.  While there, he decided to log onto his Facebook and didn't log off before leaving.  The owner of the home returned to find his house ransacked and things stolen but also some of the thief's personal items had been left.  Then he noticed the thief had left his Facebook page up. The homeowner posted on the guy's page and even put his phone number for anyone to contact him.  The THIEF texted him and agreed to exchange a stolen cell phone for his belongings.  When the homeowner was on his way home from a friend's, he noticed the thief (from his Facebook page) and called police.  He was even wearing the watch he had stolen from the homeowner when he was arrested.


Ummmmm.....He's a special kind of stupid isn't he?

"I'm just gonna steal a few things here....Oh you know what let me check Facebook real quick before I leave."
What kind of criminal takes the time to look at Facebook while committing a crime?!  And then doesn't think to log off so no one knows he was there?!  My favorite part of this is when the homeowner posted on the guy's page, it was the THIEF who contacted him! And that he actually believed he was going to give him his stuff he left for a recycled cell phone he stole from the guy. AND he was wearing the watch he stole from the guy when he was arrested!

Seriously??  I'm just having a hard time understanding why he felt the need to check Facebook while burglarizing a home.  I've heard of (and done myself) checking Facebook during odd times but never in the midst of a crime. That just makes me shake my head and laugh.  Even an attorney made a comment about this "making the late night talk shows" because it's that dumb.

Then to go meet up with the guy.  "Hey man, I stole a bunch of stuff from your house.  I'm not giving any of it back, like this sweet watch here, but if you could just give me the stuff I left, that'd be great.  No hard feelings right?" Haha c'mon man!  How dumb are you really?  Then again, he was dumb enough to rob someone's house.

Facebook is definitely not dumb person proof.  Seems like dumb criminals are getting caught because of it more often.  Just like the guy who shared his own wanted poster on Facebook.  These people are definitely special.

Facebook.  Catching Dumb Criminals Since 2006.

Man Shares His Own Wanted Poster On Facebook

A Pennsylvania man was wanted on assault charges and had been evading police since November.  He was captured recently by his own doing.  The Freeland Police Department posted on Facebook the man's picture, information, what he's wanted for, and the department's number for anyone with information on his whereabouts.  Well, the man, Anthony James Lescowitch Jr, found it humorous and shared it on his own Facebook wall with the caption, "I f***** love it, A**HOLE."  Police saw this and then posed as a woman wanting to get a drink at a specific location.  Needless to say, he was arrested 45 minutes later.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So in case any of you didn't already know this, Facebook tells you when someone shares anything you post.  If I was the arresting officer, I would have said, "No, I f****** love it.  Thanks for making my job so much easier."  People really are stupid when it comes to social media.  Wow.

He didn't find it oddly suspicious a woman suddenly wanted to go out with him shortly after sharing that?  He probably thought, "Hey, she must be into bad boys" while police were thinking, "Ha! He bought it!  What an idiot.  Let's go arrest him already."  And I just love how they posted an update on his picture right after.  Classic!

My recommendation...if you are evading police, stay off Facebook.  You know, sharing something from the police department's Facebook probably isn't the smartest idea.

Man Demands A Job Application...With A Gun

In Virginia, a 31-year-old man walked into a McDonald's and asked for an application.  After the manager explained, more than once, that the application process is handled online, the man flashed a gun and demanded an application.  The manager went to his office, found an application to give him and contacted police.  As he filled out the application, police arrived and arrested him.

Did he honestly think that threatening the manager would help him get a job there?  I understand times are tough but come on man! First, there's the lady who steals tips from the tip jar of a restaurant she's applying to and now a man flashes a gun to get an application.  What is going on in their twisted heads?

Let's just say for arguments sake, the man didn't have access to a computer or the internet.  Well, he could have gone to a library or even the unemployment office.  They both have computers available for people to use so they can apply for jobs.  Go figure!

I will say though, that is a problem with job hunting these days.  Everything is handled online.  The old fashioned ways that our parents searched for jobs isn't the way it's done anymore.  It sucks but that's the way it is.  Times are a changin'. We just have to adapt and do it the way the companies want it to be done.  For people without access to the internet or computers, it's unfortunate but there are places for them to go to get that access.  But most of those people probably don't know that.  And flashing a gun at the manager and demanding a paper application, isn't going to help you.  Any chance he had at that job went out the window at bullet speed the moment he lifted his shirt and showed his gun (Ha! Like what I did there?).

At least he doesn't have to worry about finding a job now.
