They were both drunk when they decided to break into a home in the DeKalb Alabama area.
Sherrif Jim Harris noted that the two entered the dwelling at about 2 in the morning on Sunday. They stole keys to owners car, medicines, somewhere around $200 in money and jewelry valued at $100.
As they were finishing up with what they wanted to steal, one of the people living there woke up. The father and son both found a quick place to hide.
When the 37 year old father felt it was safe, he snuck out. His son, 19 years old, had passed out under the owner of the homes bed where he had hidden.
He was found still passed out in the early hours of the morning by the owners wife. She called one of her neighbors and then the police.
The neighbor she called was found to be the boys grandfather. As much as he may have not wanted to, he still handed him over to the officers.
If you plan on breaking into a home or business, you may want to check and see if they have a webcam set up.
This lucky family did. As the Thiefs broke into the home of Master Sgt. Jim Chouinard in Oklahoma, his wife Maribel Chouinard was looking through the webcam from their other home in the Phillippines.
She saw the thiefs breaking into her husbands apartment and called him immediately.
The police apprehended the thiefs after the husband reported ithe crime.
The thiefs were picked out of a picture line up by Maribel that was sent to her by the internet to her home in the Phillippines.
Maribel hopes to soon move to the states to live with her husband. They met and married in the Phillippines. They use the webcam to talk to one another and now it has proven to be very effective for even more things.
It was there first and last date. At least it is for 2 years.
He took her out to eat. They were sitting at the table when and when it was time to pay, Terrance McCoy of Detroit made an excuse as to his money was in her locked automobile. He needed her keys since the auto was secured and went to get the money.
Once he got to the car, he didn't stop. He put the keys in the ignition and left her sitting there alone with the bill.
He admitted to the crime. His lawyer says it was a situation of a good person making a bad choice. He pleaded no competition and has been sent to the clink for 2 years.
Did he not realize he was naked as he jumped onto the truck bed and busted out the rear window. He kept saying that someone was trying to kill him, so maybe he was just running for his life. After breaking into the truck through the cabs rear window, the then driver of the truck got out leaving the naked man to steal the truck.
Aparrantly the naked man wasn't the best driver. He ran it into a ditch only a short distance away. He was then apprehended by the police and is being checked out at the Decatur Hospital.
He came uninvited and took the bird cage with him when he left.
In Seymour Indiana, a wedding celebration was under way. A unique way to collect the money filled cards being given to the newly married couple was to place them inside a wire bird cage.
A guest, who wasn't invited, showed up at the celebration and took possibly the best gift there home with him. They estimated about $5,000 was in the cage.
The bride is of cource upset. No one wants an event of this sort to happen on their wedding day.
Some people who saw the guest say he was dressed casually in a t-shirt and a baseball style hat.
To help the couple out, guest passed the hat and many gave donations to help out the bride and groom. They collected around $500.
This is what happened in Columbus, Ohio to Diana Martinez. Diana and Stephen Bennett were parked outside her residence after being out for the evening, when 3 men approached the two of them. They took Stephens wallet and Diana's pocketbook and were then frightened off when discovered by a neighbor.
Stephfon Bennett, one of the thiefs must have took a liking to Diana. He came back to her home a few hours later and asked her for a date. She knew he was one of the thiefs and had a cousin call 911.
The police got there before he fled and took him into custody. The other two men are still out there.
A strange way to get to know the girl you want to ask out on a date.
Police who were called up to investigate a burglary in Steve Fluegge’s house had reported that the same burglar daringly came back because he had some unfinished business- to steal the plasma-screen TV. He wasn’t strong enough to carry it back during his first visit so he came back again. Investigators, unfortunately, weren’t able to catch him. In his first visit, he left with Steve Fluegge’s valuables.
The TV was left in the backyard so that investigators could dust it for fingerprints but was later taken away by the robber.
Quite insanely, the robber came back while a Pensacola Police investigator was still carrying out investigations. Even so, police couldn’t find him anywhere; they searched the whole neighbourhood but still failed.
Fluegge revealed that the police were quite embarrassed with the situation to the Pensacola News journal.
Because of all this, the police thought it was only right for them to pay for the missing TV.
Back in 2007, an adult male robbed a bank in Pennsylvanina. He waited his turn to speak to a bank clerk, then with a BB gun he requested cash.
Then instead of doing what most robbers would do, waive his gun around and tell everyone to drop to the floor as he escaped, he told the clerk to call the authorities.
As he waited there in front of the clerk, he requested information on if they had or had not made the call yet. pleaded The police arrived, he was arrested and just this pass June he stood before the judge and said he is guilty as charged.
His defense for the reason he decided to pull such a robbery is, he needed time away from his wife. She was too much at times and when she thought he was going to leave her, she threatened to kill herself.
Since the robbery, the two have divorced. Maybe she doesn't like a thief?
Now Anthony Miller, age 39 is going to spend the next 3 to 6 years in jail. The judge just condemned him on August 31st.
Police in Florida have gone to extreme measures to arrest fugitives by tempting them with money. Police tried to lure some of these law breakers by using the promise of stimulus cheque.
The authorities would first send a letter to inform the fugitives that they have been offered stimulus money. These suspects afterwards will be told to call a hot line to arrange a meeting to pick up a cheque from the auditorium where you can see a “South Florida Stimulus Coalition” banner.
Police will be waiting for their arrival and once they do come, they will be arrested. These criminals are criminals who have committed serious crimes like theft, fraud and even attempted murder.
This tactic was used only for two days and was dubbed “Operation Show Me The Money”. This trap was used to save time and it too allows police to have full control of the situation.
After several robberies, Peter Bielecke was finally captured for his crime at Old Bridge.
Bielecke, a man sentenced to roughly six years of prison because he has been occasionally robbing banks. Police have found out that all these bank robberies have been committed on Thursdays, making the pattern quite easy to follow.
He pleaded guilty to one count of robbery, and later admitted to five other holdups. His bank job has always been done on one day – Thursday. Bielecke was later reported to have not only robbed banks in several towns, but also in his hometown – Brick. Bielecke was questioned on why Thursday was the day to rob banks, but he didn’t give any reason. Because of his unusual bank-robbing schedule, the police could easily pursue him and arrest him.
