Resumé flub leads police to suspected jewel thief

POSTED: 1617 GMT (0017 HKT), May 22, 2007

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Police nabbed a suspected burglar after he made off with thousands of dollars in jewelry and other items but left behind his resumé and keys, New York City police officials said.

Police investigating a robbery at the Brooklyn residence of a local politician on Sunday evening found a set of keys and a computer disk containing the suspect's resumé.

The police contacted the man using the telephone number on the resumé. He asked police if they found his keys.

He was charged with burglary and possession of stolen property.

Well if you're totally lost for words you can just tip some cows or knock over some ducks just a little bit to your left.

The police should have played a joke on him acting like the Jewelry company }:-)

Reminds me of a local crime that happened several years ago here in the Bay Area. Some fool tried to pull out a bank's ATM machine with his truck. Moron pulled off his rear bumper, license plate included, got scared from failing miserably and took off. Needless to say, the cops didn't have a hard time tracking him down. It's almost Darwin Award worthy. :-B

I was gonna say the same thing. :-b

I could almost see your keys falling out of your pocket or something and getting left behind but who the hell breaks into a house with their resume on them? :-?

There was this one guy who robbed a liquor store but left his driver's license at the store. He used his license to prove his age while pretending to be buying beer, and the police just went to his house and waited for him to come home.

A few years back i was watching a show about the dumbest criminals, and this guy used his parking ticket to make sure a door didnt lock when he was robbing a place.(the story was something like that, i dont remember all of the details, just the ticket and door part.)

Or there's the guy that walks into a bank, fills out a deposit slip (correctly) and uses the back of it for his robbery note. !+)
