Title: Power of social media
Post by: sparksy on March 10, 2021, 11:23:34 PM
Guy had his caravan stolen in Tingalpa QLD 9 hours ago. he posted up video up on facebook and within 3 hours had the person identified because of the distinctive features of the Nissan patrol. Thief's brother then added to the comments confirming that it was his brother and was trying to talk him into returning it.
Over 730 comments, make interesting reading how people worked out who he is and other thefts that he may have done.

I saw that yesterday and thought that it was a pretty distinctive GQ and wouldn't be long before it is tracked down, unless the GQ was stolen too.

That was exactly my thought. Then I decided it was a rhetorical question.

Prisons are full of these idiots. If criminals had 1/2 a brain, they wouldn't do the stuff that gets them locked up.

Yep! ;D

Talking to a good friend who's :police:, she says that a lot of the time they don't stress about trying to find them, because they know the crim's are going to do something incredibly stupid & dob themselves in! ;D
