YouTube Helps Catch Laptop Thief

YouTube, the internet’s largest video sharing website has recently played a major role in helping catch a laptop theif. Now I don’t know about how a criminal’s mind works or anything too deep like that, but if you’re going to record yourself stealing a laptop from a store, why upload it onto YouTube for over 500,000 hits?

What makes the situation even funnier is that the whole video was synced with the Pink Panther theme tune, for added effect. After 500,000 hits, the video did indeed get watched by someone who recognised 50-year-old Dawson Anthony Bliss (thief) and ended him up in a fine costing over $3000, thanks to the police.

Oh, how YouTube satisfies our needs in more than one way. For all you readers out there planning on a crime, please for the love of god, don’t upload it onto YouTube. Or any video sharing site for that matter.
