Dumb Criminals

Technology has a way of creeping up on you when you least expect it or even want it, especially when it is mistakes with technology that do not let people get away with something they decided to do that was illegal. Take the first example. A teen broke into a car and stole several items while accidentally leaving his phone behind. The first mistake was that he left it. The second is that it probably did not have a passcode that protects the phone services. Anyway, the victim ended up calling the mother of the thief using the phone. Most of us would rather be in trouble with law enforcement. And now the second example. A man was dumped by his girlfriend so he decided to win her back by getting her some flowers. The problem was that he did not have enough money for them so he stole them from a flower shop on the one time that a news crew was filming in front of that shop. Needless to say, he was caught and arrested, despite his poignant insistence that he'd only stolen the flowers that would've surely saved his relationship because he didn't have the money to pay for them.
