(From Slate)
When homeowner James Wood
arrived back at his house, he discovered it had been ransacked. Credit
cards, cash, and a watch were missing. Strangely enough, a pair of wet
sneakers and a pair of wet pants not belonging to Mr. Wood were left
behind. “[I] kind of started to panic,” the St. Paul resident told WCCO.
However, when he went on to his computer, he noticed an important clue
as to who had done the deed, telling the station, “He pulled up his
Facebook profile, he left it up.” That’s right, Mr. Wig had forgotten to
log off his account.
Mr. Wood posted to Facebook
using Mr. Wig’s profile, leaving his own phone number in hopes that the
alleged thief would get in touch with him. When Mr. Wig texted him later
in the day, the homeowner replied, “You left a few things at my house
last night (the aforementioned sneakers and pants), how can I get them
back to you?” Mr. Wig agreed to meet with Mr. Wood later, presumably
under the assumption that they would make an exchange. However, when the
homeowner spotted the man who had done him wrong, he immediately called
police.
Police arrived and arrested Mr.
Wig, who was wearing Mr. Wood’s watch at the time. He faces up to 10
years in prison and $20,000 in fines if he is convicted.
