Maybe this will become a new CSI technique:

Robert Russel Moore, 33, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the burglary of an Arby’s in Prince Frederick, Md this past October. Moore was the assistant manager of the restaurant and was identified by clues from the surveillance tape.

Employees of the Arby’s said they recognized the burglar’s body shape, clothing and, when he bent over, the distinctive top portion of his buttocks, as being those of Moore. The owner of the restaurant said he had had to counsel Moore “more than once” about the inadvertent exposure of his butt crack.

First of all, why would this guy rob the store he worked at as an assistant manager? and two- if he is so “identifiable” why risk it? Lets call him the butt crack robber shall we.

We’ve all heard of police finding finger prints at the scene of a crime but how often do they get the orginal print too? Police in Germany got just that, when a careless burglar left behind a vital clue at a break-in when he sliced off the end of a finger on a broken window while committing a robbery.

The police were able to match the piece of finger with existing prints they had from a 15-year-old of Iraqi origin. The youth initially denied breaking and entering into an office to steal a computer but confessed when police produced the digital remnant.

I wonder if the police kept the “tip” on ice while they sought the criminal or not?

Villagers in a remote eastern India village protested after police arrived to arrest a three-month-old boy for robbery.

The boys name was subsequently dropped from a list of those accused of robbing bus passengers last week. Well yeah, the kid can’t even walk, how’s he going to rob bus passengers? An investigation is being conducted to figure out how this happened.

A police officer, Kumar, said the boy may have been named by the complainant “with a malicious intent”. Who on earth would have malicious intent against a 3 month old - more likely I believe, it was a prank.

Joshua Shores, 34, a Subway restaurant employee in North Platte, Neb., who was allegedly caught on surveillance video pocketing the $502 he was supposed to drop into the restaurant’s safe, tried to tell police and a judge in August not to worry, that he is not a thief but an undercover CIA operative and that the agency would reimburse the money.

He had lost his CIA badge, he said, which is why he was working at the Subway, waiting for the agency to send him a new one.

Outrageous Medicine

In July, India’s Medical Association began investigating three doctors who appeared on television to promote their amputation services specifically to beggars, whose income prospects grow with the more sympathy they engender. One doctor said he would remove a leg below the knee, leaving it fairly easy to fit a prosthetic, for the equivalent of about $200.
