Criminals photographed themselves in the act

Quote:

Digital camera left at scene of crime

Most people take pictures to mark a memorable occasion: graduations, holiday parties, special events … but a burglary? Travis County detectives have found some unusual evidence at a crime scene that they want the public to see.

What looks like scenes from a typical high school or college party, investigators say is actually photos from a crime scene.

[...]

“During the investigation, we found a digital camera that didn't belong to the victim,” said Roger Wade, with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.

On that camera, investigators found a clear picture of their suspects. Now, they need help in identifying who they are.

Legendary game designer Richard Garriott actually owns the property. He says it’s made up of a series of cabins and other buildings for special events.

“We were debating whether we would even report this to police until we discovered the digital camera sitting on the porch of one of the cabins broken into,” he said.

As Garriott looked through the pictures, they were even better than he could have hoped.

“We we're joking to ourselves about tomorrow morning, when they wake up with a hangover, they're going to wonder where that camera is,” he said. “This is one of those Darwin-style kind of awards, where people leave the self-incriminating evidence behind at the scene.”

Wow, that is fucking stupid.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I wanna say "PWNED" - but this is just plain sad <.<

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think we can all learn an important lesson from all this. If you're going to commit a crime don't leave a camera full of pictures of yourself at the crime scene.

How ya doing, buddy?

It don't even qualify for pwnage. It's just pathetic.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

unless they stole that camera from someone else and are trying to frame them.......

I was speaking idiomatically.

Too bad they didn't record a video of themselves. They could be on Court TV's Video Justice!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've heard about quite a few retarded robberies in my time but I think somehow this one tops the list.

FELIPE NO

Charles Darwin would be extremely proud.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm inclined to laugh. (why lie, I am laughing)

Haven't they been watching CSI or something?

How ya doing, buddy?

It's totally stupid, but I could totally see myself doing this. I'm somewhat absent minded, which is why I stay away from anything where my typical bumbling will get me into trouble.

I was surprised that the owner didn't seem to care about the incident, though. Maybe because they were so stupid, they'll get away with a slap on the wrist.
