Pointing out stories you might have missed. A hapless German thief snapped his credit card in two while prying open a lock, inadvertently leaving behind his name and account details for police. ``He tried to copy what he'd seen them do on television, but the flat-owner woke up and the criminal ran away,'' a police spokesman said today. ``The victim called up and read us the details off the card. ``When we got round to the burglar's house, the other half was sitting on his kitchen table.'' The 29-year-old burglar was trying to open the door to his neighbour's flat in Moenchengladbach in western Germany, police said.News source: Metro.co.uk

Alleged criminals like that deserve to be caught.
You have to laugh!
You couldn't make it up, could you? If you'd inserted an episode like that in Vegemite Vindaloo you'd have been laughed off the best-seller list!
Hi Jenera,
Ah, you must have had journalistic teaining - nice to see the word ``alleged'' in there. Most people just write ``criminal'' and don;t realise that no one is a criminal until judicilly proven.
Very perceptive. The mind of a parent - as you and I know so well, no one is more perceptive than a parent!
Take care

Hi there El Tel,
Then again, I could put it into my next novel!
Great story, though!
He was obviously not a card sharp.
