Police have arrested three men for burglarizing more than 18 homes in the Northeast, but the case ends up making the victims look more stupid than anything else.
Mario Rojas, Leonardo Barroso, and Victor Rodriguez reportedly stole as much as $200,000 in personal property from residents in an around Nashua, New Hampshire
It took officials a while to put all the cases together because, even though the burglars were able to attack each house when no one was home, there was nothing that connected them to one another. Or so it seemed.
Here are just a few of the charges these thieves are being charged with,
Mario Rojas, 25, of 17 Platt St., Lawrence, Mass., has been charged with eight felony counts of burglary, eight felony counts of theft by unauthorized taking and resisting detention.
Victor Rodriguez, 17, of 60 Fairmount St., has been charged with three felony counts of burglary, three felony counts of theft by unauthorized taking and resisting detention.
Leonardo Barroso, 17, of 525 Amherst St., has been charged with five felony counts of burglary and four felony counts of theft by unauthorized taking.
It turns out every single victim posted a Facebook status announcing they were going away on vacation or business and wouldn't be home for days, right before they were robbed. And each of these victims had their Facebook accounts set for public display. So it was pretty much like taking candy from a baby.
"Be careful of what you post on these social networking sites," said Nashua police captain Ron Dickerson in an interview with local news station WMUR.
Police were only able to find the culprits after one of the items they stole happened to be a specific kind of firework. When they later heard fireworks go off, they tracked the sound and found the three men.
To be fair to the victims, Facebook makes everything you post available for public viewing by default. Users may not expect that anyone and everyone can see things they think can only be viewed by their friends. But in this case, the thieves don't really come across as extreme thugs. Instead, it's more like an inevitable succumbing to temptation. I mean, when you have people shouting out, "Hey, come rob me!" someone will eventually do it.
