Burglar caught out by webcam
A burglar is today behind bars after picking the wrong house to burgle. His crime was caught in full by a webcam, which the hapless thief stole along with the computer, but not before it had sent pictures of him to a website.
So says silicon.com. And, as you’d expect, they’ve got the photos to prove it:
Still, at least he doesn’t look really gormless…oh, hang on. You’ll note as an observance of tradition he has opted for the time-honoured burglar uniform of a striped jersey and swag bag – just to make it really obvious what he’s up to.
“What’s that… it looks like a camera. I don’t understand. My brain hurts so much I have to take my hat off…”
I’m sure Umbro are delighted with the chavtastic publicity.

Brilliant! Just what I need for the burglar alarm topic I’m doing at school. Did his bag have ‘SWAG’ written on it too?
I’d love to know what the court thought of these pics!
