(How this happen?)
PETERBOROUGH -- Shawn Cromwell made it pretty easy for police to find him – with an assist from the homeowner he had stolen from. The 26-year-old was selling stolen goods on the web-based classified site Kijiji, Ontario Court of Justice heard Tuesday, listing his real name, address and phone number as a point of contact. Cromwell pleaded guilty to charges of break and enter, three counts of possession of property obtained by crime, unsafe storage of a firearm and possession of a firearm without a proper licence. Crown attorney Jim Hughes said items valued at about $5,000, including a drill press, were stolen from a Galway-Cavendish and Harvey home June 25. But the thief left one item behind, a cigarette butt that police sent to the Centre of Forensic Science in Toronto for analysis. The results came back in August, Hughes said, and showed that Cromwell’s DNA matched the DNA on the butt. Cromwell had provided a DNA sample to police after a previous unrelated conviction. Police began preparing a warrant to obtain a DNA sample from Cromwell to make sure they had a match. They also asked the homeowner who was robbed if he knew Cromwell, Hughes said. The two were strangers. But the homeowner did a Google search using Cromwell’s name, which sent him to the ads on Kijiji.

SARASOTA, Fla. - A homeless man spent the night in a Sarasota County jail after a police officer accused him of stealing by charging his cell phone at a public park.

Kersey that the "theft of city utilities will not be tolerated during this bad economy" and then arrested him on a misdemeanor charge of theft of utilities.

However, Freeman said her sister later opened the package and discovered it was a mirror with an Apple sticker attached.
"If you turn it on the back, it actually looks like an Apple iPad," Freeman said. "And when you turn it to the front, it has the prices and stuff." "That's so messed up," Freeman said. "That's so wrong. I would never do anybody like that. Get a job."Arlington police spokeswoman Tiara Richard said no similar crimes have been reported in the area recently, but it's a common occurrence near the holiday season

NOVEMBER 12--Using glass, wood, and duct tape, a crafty scam artist fabricated iPad and MacBook replicas, which he then sold to unsuspecting customers who thought they had snared a deeply discounted Apple product, police report. Torrance Canady, 39, was arrested last night by Florida cops and charged with grand theft in connection with ripping off two victims. He is being held in the Volusia County jail.

During a search of the vehicle--in which Canady was a passenger--cops found two phony iPads and a pair of fake Apple laptops, which can be seen in the above police evidence photo (click to enlarge).
The purported MacBook Pros were actually pieces of wood carefully wrapped in gray duct tape with the distinctive Apple logo centered on what appeared to be the machine’s cover. A Best Buy flier (listing the laptop’s price as $2194) was attached to one of the fakes, which was encased in bubble wrap. As seen in the police evidence photo, the phony iPads were actually pieces of glass framed by black tape (also with an Apple logo affixed by transparent tape).
