It’s bad enough to return home to find a burglar has ransacked your house and stolen many treasured belongings. For the thief to then post a picture of himself on your Facebook page – while wearing your winter jacket and waving a wad of your cash – is brazen in the extreme.
But that’s exactly what happened to Washington Post reporter Marc Fisher and his family last week. At some point between 10am and 12.45pm last Friday, a burglar forced his way into Mr Fisher’s Washington, D.C. property by kicking in a door. He then proceeded to steal items including a laptop, iPod and cash from Mr Fisher’s 15-year-old son.
Which is when the thief felt compelled to rub salt into the wound. Mr Fisher writes: ‘He opened my son’s computer, took a photo of himself sneering as he pointed to the cash lifted from my son’s desk, and then went on my son’s Facebook account and posted the picture for 400 teenagers to see. ‘In the picture, the man is wearing my new winter coat, the one that was stolen right out of the Macy’s box it had just arrived in.’
One police officer attending the crime scene even commented: ‘I’ve seen a lot, but this is the most stupid criminal I’ve ever seen.’ Although the photo shows the burglar wearing his newly-acquired coat with the hood pulled up, the full frontal shot clearly shows the burglar’s face. So clear, that the reporter thought that would be the end of the matter and detectives would make an arrest almost immediately.
Astonishingly, despite the seemingly watertight nature of the case, police have yet to arrest the suspect.
Or, is it just a case of incredible arrogance. Let’s face it, ..the cops have better things to do than go after criminals.
Macy’s is American. What desperate students are being beaten up state side?
Sure title nine is killing off vast numbers of college level athletic programs for males because females don’t want to do this kind of bleep but that isn’t getting beaten up and of course some states such as CA prefer illegals to locals but again not a beating.
I bet he voted for Obama…
Dat be Racis, you show’n da black foke like dat…
‘Astonishingly, despite the seemingly watertight nature of the case, police have yet to arrest the suspect.’
Dear god…
Are those c-notes? Who in the hell walks around with c-notes? What 15 year walks around with c-notes inside the US? ATM’s don’t even spit out C-Notes. He had to ask for them.
Weird.
Actually, the LA Times had an article yesterday about a robber in Las Vegas who walked into the Bellagio Casino in the wee hours and stole $1.5 million in chips. He took the high value ones. He got away, but the idiot can’t do anything with them. Every casino is town is going to be looking for those chips to show up.

You must live somewhere there isn’t a large population of urban lost souls. This guy will never be found in DC.
I’m just curious. The victim works for the Washington Post. Why is the source material from the Daily Mail?
By the way, just because the coppers have a photo, doesn’t mean they know who he is!
wonder what the headlines would have read if the people were home when he kicked the door in?
Although the photo shows the burglar wearing his newly-acquired coat with the hood pulled up, the full frontal shot clearly shows the burglar’s face.
Going to be tough finding this kid. They all look the same.
Man, you all are hard on knee grows.
so their 15yo son has hundreds just lying around and this family cant afford an alarm system??? something is fishy about this story.
I’m sure I’ve seen that thumb before…
You know, with more Jesus, we wouldn’t have this problem. These people are on the right track: http://landoverbaptist.org/news0803/pledge.html
Are you saying this guy is the most stupidist?
Is stupidity something we need to understand the deeper nature of?
The only people that fear the police are ordinary law abiding citizens. That is fucked up.
Not stupidity at all. The guy knows he has next to no chance of getting caught.
As for the C-notes: rich Washington Post reporter’s kid has $100 bills laying around. Sounds like they are really struggling through this recession (depression).
Give you 2-to-1 the reporter’s kid is a small-time drug dealer to other rich kids.
its only dumb if he is a resident of that police precinct, and doesn’t sell that coat. other than that its hard to spot out someone from a photo unless its pushed through the mass media (maybe someone will recognize him and ask to borrow some mone.)for everyone to see. but since he hasnt killed or almost killed someone, it won’t happen. they live in dc, isnt that place a slum?
I bet he would not look so stupid with a .357 hole between those beady eyes. Wait.. Dead stupid.
He is stupid because instead of getting a education and doing something with his life. He is robbing people. Somewhere along the line he never had parents who cared enough to set him stright. But I am sure the Black community will blame someone else.
Actually that is only a single hundred dollar bill and the others showing are one dollar bills if you look carefully.
So the 15 year old had a benjamin and a wad of 1′s. The robber wanted it to look like he made out like a bandit. But it was a run of the mill burglary.
You can get more pickings AFTER xmas.
This kid is low-level and probably will get away with it unless someone rats him out.
