Computer Thief Caught via YouTube
Interesting Stuff
It is a good idea to catch a thief by posting the video clip of theft on YouTube. Dawson Anthony Bliss, 50, was taped slowly rounding in a store in the South Island town of Greymouth, New Zealand, later walked out of the store with a laptop computer slipping into his overcoat.
However, what he did was taped and posted on YouTube with “The Pink Panther” music track as background music. About 500,000 viewers around the world clicked the video clip and one of the viewers recognized the man and alerted local police. Dawson was then convicted of theft in Greymouth District Court after pleading guilty and fined Bliss $1,485 and ordered him to pay $1,478 in reparation.
