Facebook Caper

This is a good one.  I was reading the newspaper the other day and there was an article COMPLETE WITH PHOTO about a young guy who got caught for robbery because he posted a photo of himself on Facebook holding a big wad of cash.  This, after recently posting that he was flat broke and out of work. 

Now, meanwhile, a Dollar General store VERY close to this guy's house had been robbed.   Of a big bunch of cash and some other stuff. 

His own Facebook photo showed him grinning away with this wad of cash in his fist, and also visible in the photo were a few items identifiable from the Dollar General robbery. 

Apparently  the police are now using Facebook as an evidence-gathering resource and they couldn't help but notice the stupid idiot with the cash.  So they arrested him, and sure enough, he did the robbery.

Well, my late husband, who just never could understand the big deal with Facebook, always said somebody should start an Assbook.  I think we just found our first member.
