(Un) Social networking

Okay, I could have taught this kid. He’d be the one who’d always ask, “Do we have to know this for the test?”

Jonathan G. Parker, 19 was one burglar who could multi-task.

After breaking into a Martinsburg, West Virginia house and stealing 2 diamonds rings worth more than $3500, he had enough time to use the victim’s computer to Google “best escape routes.”

If that’s not enough, he also logged into his Facebook profile and updated his Facebook status that read, “OMG LOLZ brkin into sum1s house!”

 

Well, guess what? He forgot to log off his account. Talking about smart. Not only did he get himself into trouble, he also indirectly exposed his accomplice who happened to be a mutual friend of Parker and the victim (yes, that’s how he was found out).

Parker faces 1 to 10 years of Facebook-less imprisonment.

    I love “stupid criminal” stories. Thanks for sharing.

    I suppose if I want to “friend” this guy, I’m a bit too late, huh?
