Police thank suspect for Facebook info


NEW YORK, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Police in New York posted a comment to an arrested suspect's Facebook page thanking him for detailing his alleged crimes online.

Capt. Richard Podgers, chief of detectives for the City of Lockport Police Department, said he posted a note to the Facebook page of Christopher Crego, 39, thanking him for filling his profile with pictures of guns, descriptions of his criminal cases and even a newspaper article declaring him one of Lockport's "10 Most Wanted," The Buffalo (N.Y.) News reported Friday.

"It was due to your diligence in keeping us informed that now you are under arrest," Podgers wrote.

The captain said Crego was arrested at the Indiana tattoo parlor he listed as his place of employment on the Web site.

"He even listed their address for us," Podgers said, "so we didn't have to search (very hard). And he gave us his hours, so we were able to know when he would come to work, look for his car, come into work and arrest him."

1. This certainly goes in the stupid criminals file

and should be a candidate for a Darwin Award.

2. What is the attraction that sites like Facebook and Twitter draw these

not too bright people into the spotlight. It must be the spotlight?

I have no idea how I ever got myself onto either one of the sites, but I am there. I get these e-mails "so and so would like to be friends" or something like that. Makes no sense to me!!!

4. I'm on, but only for family stuff.

I won't extend my network any further and I'm very careful what I post, even though it is to family. We're scattered so it's kind of a nice way to keep in touch with the extendeds. I won't "friend" any of my students or even fellow teachers because of the way one link perpetuates another, etc. I know my boundaries!

10. I think it is great for people to stay in touch with close friends and family

but at my age I am short on both.

14. I lived there for two years...

They have a near-monopoly on dumb criminals.

The then wife and I used to read the local police blotter for entertainment.

Our favorite was the one where the guy tried to drive into a storefront to rob the place... in the middle of the afternoon.
