Muggers Leave Their Pictures Behind
Two German teenagers who robbed a girl have been caught as a result of their own stupidity. After stealing the girl's shoes, money, and cell phone, the two teenagers gave the girl an old cell phone of their own. However, the teenagers forgot that the cell phone had pictures of themselves on it. The police published the photos online in an effort to find the girl.
The two muggers turned themselves in almost immediately after the pictures aired. Police spokesman Frank Plewka said that "one girl was brought down by her father after he saw her on the television. Today the pictures were in the papaes so the father's phone has been ringing all day, because everyone recognized them." Neither of the teenagers had been in trouble with the law before.
