I’m convinced that most thieves are stupid, rather than that the police are good at catching people. Consider this village idiot from Wrexham, Wales. He got his mate to film him mugging a charity worker, and then stupidly posted the video on YouTube. No surprises what happened next….yep, he got arrested.
The video has been taken down by YouTube – does anyone have another link?
Update: Found a working link (click on ‘Arresting video‘ in the menu)
