A 26-year-old man is in jail after allegedly making a big mistake during a home robbery, according to the local CBS station.

Nicholas Wig allegedly broke into a home in Minnesota, and stole credit cards, cash, and a watch. While there, he decided to log onto Facebook. He forgot to log off.

When the owner of the home returned, he found his house had been broken into. But then he noticed that Facebook was open on his computer. He saw that it was someone else's profile.

So, he left comments on Wig's Facebook profile. Eventually Wig got in touch and promised to return things he allegedly took. When Wig started to walk up to the home later to return stuff, the homeowner called the police who arrested him.

article from a few months back but still illustrates how stupid people are

Houses can't be robbed.

ETA- here is another idiot we had.

Guy broke into a business and checked in on Facebook. One of the detectives was looking at the company's Facebook, since they posted the surveillance video and one of the fans noticed the person that checked in. The video matched the face on his profile.

Stupid criminals is a good thing.

Who the fuck is so obsessed with Facebook you just have to pause criminal activities to post useless shit about your life nobody cares about?  Strange times we live in.
