1. A Pennsylvania man's nativity Jesus was stolen from his yard during this past Christmas season. While trolling through Facebook pages of the various people in his town, he came across a picture of the Jesus figurine that was taken from him. Police contacted the Facebook user who, along with a juvenile accomplice, had indeed snatched the figurine.
2. Couple Tareq and Michaele Salahi made the mistake of posting a picture on Facebook of themselves crashing the White House state dinner. Most people know that it is actually a crime to crash that specific party.
3. A 19-year-old young man broke into someone's home to steal various items, and while in these strangers home, proceeded to long onto his Facebook page and then flee the scene. His Facebook page was left open for the homeowners to see when they arrived home.
4. A man posted all over his Twitter as to how his recent computer hacking activity lead to the stealing inappropriate pictures and other various items of an innocent person. One thing he forgot to do, other than just not saying anything at all, was to turn off the GPS data his Twitter was providing, which lead authorities right to him.
5. An alleged rapist decided to chime in on a string of Facebook comments about his crime, speaking directly to police. This prompted the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office to inform him, also via Facebook, that his warrant "calls for nationwide extradition." McCombs continued on, despite the Sheriff's Office continued reminders, and eventually a demand, that he make use of his right to remain silent.
6. A young woman posted a YouTube video, where she completely confessed to car theft and bank robbery while obviously under the use of illegal narcotics.
These criminals may not be the smartest when it comes to committing their crimes and making it known to the entire world, but they sure know how to use social media!
