Thief Takes A Picture Of Himself With A 'Stolen Cell Phone' & Gets `Arrested!!!!!!!

Okay, this story is just sad for a number of reasons. First off, an
innocent woman who's lost gets her cell phone stolen while stepping out
of her car to check a street sign. Not only is she lost, she's deaf.
The man guilty of the crime? One Gary Walker from Bond Hill, Ohio.

We know who committed the crime because he's since been found and
arrested. The reason for his undoing? He snapped a picture of himself
using the stolen phone, and later, when the victim went online and
downloaded her data to transfer it to a new phone, Gary's mug popped
up. The rest, as they say, is history.

While we're thrilled the thief was caught, and even got some
entertainment out of the story, it still boggles our mind how painfully
careless crooks can be. Don't get us wrong, we absolutely do not
condone crime, nor do we respect these people in the slightest regard.
But the inner techies in us just feel a little frustrated some times in
the same way that we feel frustrated when we try to watch someone
figure out how to use a VCR (well, Blu-ray player now...) for the first
time.
