Burglar caught because he checked his Facebook on victim's computer

You know why Ocean’s Eleven (and twelve and 736 or whatever they’re up to) is a crock of BS? Because criminals aren’t these dapper, intelligent, worldly, witty people. They’re idiots, like Jonathan Parker who checked his Facebook while robbing someone’s house, then left it open. Very savvy.

The popular online social networking site Facebook helped lead to an alleged burglar’s arrest after he stopped check his account on the victim’s computer, but forgot to log out before leaving the home with two diamond rings.

Jonathan G. Parker, 19, of Fort Loudoun, Pa., was arraigned Tuesday one count of felony daytime burglary.

She told police that someone had broken into her home through a bedroom window.

There were open cabinets in her garage, and other signs of a burglar.

The victim later noticed that the intruder also used her computer to check his Facebook status, and his account was still open when she checked the computer.

In his defense, how is it possible that anyone would have thought that changing his status to “Burglarizing a house. Hope no one finds out!” would lead to problems. I mean, it says right there that he hopes no one finds out.

Besides, get with the times, Twitter is clearly the social network you go to for something like this. “@robberyvictim lol u have smelly undies. but srsly, i stole ur jewlries. sry.”
