Burglar gets caught after posting up pictures of swag on Facebook

If there’s one thing you should never do after robbing somebody, it’s posting pictures of you and the stolen goods in hand up on the world’s most popular social network, Facebook. A burglar had to find out the hard way when he was recently arrested for that very reason. The robber had posted up a picture of himself in his new coat, holding some stolen cash on the profile page of the homeowner’s son – at the home he had just robbed! Needless to say, he was quickly picked up by the authorities shortly after the stint. Talk about the world’s worst calling card (or most effective depending on which side of the law you’re on).
