Criminal hijinx

Seems a theft occurred at a Vancouver business earlier in the week.

Criminals walked into a build late at night, and walked out, just as easily, with several laptops and iMacs. What's really great is what happened next.

I'll leave the name of the business out of my blog, but you can check more of the detailed information here, which also has incriminating security video and photos.

The crime in a nutshell: computers were stolen from a Vancouver business. Criminals entered easily into the building and six minutes later, easily left. Both, there were two, completely oblivious to the fact the front doors were under security video. At that point, you think it would end there. But no, it doesn't.

It would also seem that this Vancouver company has a Flickr page. What's Flickr? Flickr is a website where any digital photo can be uploaded easily from you computer. This is especially easy when you have a webcam. Many iMacs have built in webcams, and come with iPhoto and Photobooth software preinstalled.

Anyway, back to the crime.

Whether these laptops and iMacs were sold is unknown. But whoever ended up using the laptop, decided it would be really, really cool to take pictures of himself using the built in webcam. And then, proceeded to upload them to the company's Flickr page. For shots of the incriminating photos, click here. You can also see the lovely mugshot of the individual above.

Whether or not this guy is the criminal has not been determined by Vancouver police. But, it is quite obvious that this guy loves his tattoos. It is also quite obvious that there is no such thing as a criminal mastermind. Especially after walking in front of a security camera, allowing it to record your face, using/selling said computers to take photos and upload them to the original company's photo page online.

As one poster in the thread had mentioned...

"The funniest part is that he had to name the picture and then click a button that says "upload" in order for it to show up here. It's not totally automatic."

Crminal hijinx will ensue.

Until next time...

Keep 'em flyin'.
