- MJPana, on 05/29/2009, -0/+26Pfft, we all know the best place to incriminate yourself is Facebook. This guy needs to get with the times!
- Lefts, on 05/30/2009, -4/+24 Some guy broke into my house and is selling some of the stuff he sold on craigslist, and the cops are just sitting on their ***** asses doing nothing.
Yeah, a guy is selling a 40gb PS3 (same type as stolen), the exact same 3 games taken, and the two controllers as well, the day of the break in, and the cops don't ***** give a *****.
Sorry folks, if you really think the cops are here to protect and serve, you're sadly mistaken. They only helped the bank, because that's where their paychecks for sitting on their asses come from. - burdt, on 05/30/2009, -2/+20if that's really the case why don't you offer to buy the console and then show up with a baseball bat instead?
- edwartica, on 05/29/2009, -0/+15No kidding! I didn't even know people used myspace anymore!!!

- CheeseBiscuits, on 05/30/2009, -0/+6Yeah, but that's circumstantial. Even if it really was your property, the police can't arrest someone just because they coincidentally are selling the same things that were stolen from you because that "evidence" just isn't good enough. On the other hand, this guy pretty much goes "hurr I'm on the run from robbing a bank durr" on MySpace, which is apparently all the police needed to go after him. I can see his lawyer arguing that arrest warrants based on what someone says on the Internet shouldn't be considered evidence though.
All in all, police aren't necessarily above playing the game, thanks to lawyers and the Fourth Amendment. - TexMexRex, on 05/30/2009, -1/+6Because that would require effort.
- inactive, on 05/30/2009, -0/+5That didn't work so well for OJ.
- jitterbits, on 05/30/2009, -1/+6And it would make Lefts the criminal. Vigilante justice is frowned upon by law enforcement and judges alike.
- dreadlocks, on 05/30/2009, -1/+5and why didnt you just go get your ***** back? You think a thief is going to call the cops if he got robbed and his ass beat?
and why the ***** do the cops give a ***** bout your PS3? Not even enough value to be a felony, you'd probably have to take him to civil court if they did catch him... - maz2331, on 05/30/2009, -1/+5Dumbass. Never admit to any crime anywhere until after the statute of limitations is expired. And even then, don't do it.
- vsujohn2, on 05/30/2009, -0/+4And....you're retarded.
- squr3l, on 05/30/2009, -0/+4my bike was stolen and i found it on craigslist like 3 months later
it was a unique 70s custom painted beach cruiser and i had photos of it
and i took it to the cops and they lagged for more than 5 weeks before finally getting it back along with 4 or 5 other stolen bikes i told them theyd probably find
anyways, i know how you feel, i was lucky enough to get my ***** back cuz the moron who stole it was charging too much - marcb83, on 05/30/2009, -0/+4no just 10% of the population isn't stupid
- Ragzouken, on 05/30/2009, -0/+4Urrelles, are you living in a third world country or something?
- twiztidsinz, on 05/30/2009, -0/+4Do you have the serial number for the console?
Like a receipt with it on it? That would help your case immensely, otherwise it could just be a coincidence... Innocent til proven guilty, remember? - nepidae, on 05/30/2009, -0/+4lol, who still uses myspace
- ghatid, on 05/30/2009, -0/+4I like myspace because it looks professional.
- staticfire, on 05/30/2009, -0/+4yes
- brucealmighty, on 05/30/2009, -0/+4"One in the head, and still ain't right...!"
- kvgirard, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3no cheesewheel?
- Khast, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3Hmm... nothing says moron like robbing a bank and keeping your status up to date.
Screw finding the fountain of youth we have enough young people. I'm waiting for them to find the fountain of smart. - maximilen, on 05/30/2009, -1/+4Dug for the last sentence.
- jitterbits, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3No, Ragzouken. We live in a country with lots of guns, though.
- bail3yz, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3sarcasm : 1
jitterbits : 0 - inactive, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3come on anonymous. Get to work. I want to see this guy's myspace.
- Lefts, on 05/30/2009, -0/+2I do have the serial number, just found the box, but I can't reach the police anymore. They are always mysteriously not at their desk on weekdays before 5pm.
Even still, how can I confirm with the police that the serial numbers match? That would involve them actually going with me to meet the guy, meaning getting off their asses. They're not going to do that.
And then, what if the guy just took the serial number off the PS3? It's just a god damn sticker.
It doesn't matter. The ***** is gone, and nothing can be done. If I meet the guy with a few friends and baseball bats, I'll get charged with assault, and the guy knows where I live. - diggerwut, on 05/30/2009, -0/+2"One in the head, still ain't dead."
Well, in prison it's gonna be, "two in the ass, your manhood won't last". - TheInformer, on 05/30/2009, -0/+2Sounds like he's just slightly more intelligent than Kanye West.
- TheBadWolf, on 05/30/2009, -0/+2Personally, I'd rather have you never get your stuff back than have someone arrested because they're coincidentally selling the same games that were stolen. If you can see a serial number in the pictures, by all means the police should do something. But right now, there's just no evidence.
- inactive, on 05/30/2009, -0/+2bank robbers and teenage sluts.
oh, and women in their 30s who still think they are teenage sluts. - TexMexRex, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1People post BS to Digg so they can... pretty much the same thing.
- thallium205, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1I'm surprised the article truncated what he wrote on his myspace status.
"There they discovered that Northington had posted the following message after the robbery: “One in the head still ain’t dead!!!!!! On tha run for robbin a bank Love all of yall."" - thedogfatherx, on 05/31/2009, -0/+1yes
- deathtap, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1What's the account?
- kbillar, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1@Kasey
If you use Myspace as a resume, than what outlet do you use to publicly demonize your former employers? - jitterbits, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1bail3yz, considering the stupid things I've heard from people, it's impossible to tell. Did you know there are businesses that actually want dancing gifs and bad music on their websites and will get mad if you suggest anything else? (At which point you take your dignity and walk out the door)
Plus, I can be a little gullible. - Urrelles, on 05/30/2009, -2/+3Dreadlocks and Burdt, that is suicide. You can go to the thieves house with your gang of buddies and attempt to kick the ***** out of thief but a few things can happen form tyring that.
1. The theive is smart and calls the cops and gets yoru ass in jail.
2. The thief has a gun, a posse with gun and knives and will kill your ass.
3. You return hom to find your home burnt to the ground. (Remember he broke in your house to steal your stuff so he knows where you live.)
4. You return home to find a happy thief with a shotgun sitting in your living room after he raped your sister, smoked a blunt, flipped her over and went in for seconds.
It's not worth going vigilante on theives unless you have an extremely close knit neighborhood that will watch your back. - phillymatt, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1Link to/screenshot of this knucklehead's myspace? I hope there are animated gifs and a sweet soundtrack...
- ClearTechInfo, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1LOL. That idiot got what he deserved.
- inactive, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1your comment scared the ***** out of me, man
- TheInformer, on 05/30/2009, -1/+2They found your Mom there.
- inactive, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1Who needs a resume when you can just email your Myspace link to employers? That's what I do.
- JohnnySoftware, on 09/01/2009, -0/+1He could show up, inspect the serial numbers on the game unit, and then leave.
Then call the cops and give the me evidence.
While they might not believe the tenuous circumstantial evidence given in the example, they would have to believe the serial numbers matching was evidence of a crime.
And, he might just find out he was wrong too. So either way, it helps. - jitterbits, on 05/30/2009, -2/+2In what way does myspace look professional?
- Urrelles, on 05/30/2009, -0/+0Nope, but I do live in a country where petty criminals are either crazy or got a ton of pals watching their backs. Anyone with the balls to break into people's homes to steal probably has a gun or knife. He probably knows how to fight and is will go out of his way to put you in your place if you come to get your ***** back.
I don't know where you live, but in the US, even, out here in San Fran, I hear about people getting shot in broad daylight over petty ***** every month. One of my friends was held at gunpoint in his own home while the thugs took what they could then left. That same friend witness 2 shootings in the city right in front of his job.
We read on Digg everyday about people doing stupid violent *****. .....Now that I think about it, I do live in a 3rd world country.
Is your life worth your PS3 and 3 games? Just think of that before you confront a criminal. - chokitofrito, on 05/30/2009, -1/+1It's either raining or not raining.
