If you burgle a house, don’t use Facebook!
September 18, 2009
Okay, part-time mobsters and wanna-be thugs, here’s a lesson in Social Media risk from West Virginia. As The Journal reports, a 19 year old burglar broke into the house of a woman at the beginning of this week in Martinsburg, WV, and stole two diamond rings from her. Obviously feeling secure in her home, he decided to check his Facebook account on her computer – and forgot to log out. It was easy for law enforcement after that. He is in custody and faces anything between one and ten years in prison. And hopefully some extra time for sheer stupidity.
