Photos On Camera Seal German Thief's Fate

A German thief effectively signed his own arrest warrant after photographing himself at the scene of a crime and accidentally leaving the pictures for police to discover.

Police said the youth stole a digital camera during a break-in in a nearby town and took the photos before discarding the device nearby. "We don't know if it was down to a series of unfortunate events or whether the thief couldn't get to grips with the technology", police said.

"The evidence was fairly compelling so he had to admit it", said a police spokesperson.
