Henry County investigators looking for a man suspected of breaking into a car got some unexpected help when the alleged thief inadvertently posted a photo of himself on his victim's Facebook page.

"The suspect apparently took a picture of himself on the victim's phone, and due to her settings, it automatically uploaded to her Facebook page," Bolton said.

Bolton said that the victim had pulled up at the daycare around 5:30 p.m. to pick up her child, and parked next to a black Toyota RAV 4 with tinted windows, but thought that the driver of the SUV was a female because of the long braids.

He said the victim did not lock her car when she went inside to get her child. “It wasn’t until she got home that she realized, ‘oh, no, someone took my purse,’” Bolton said.

He said that at some point in the next 12 hours or so, the victim pulled up her Facebook page “and she notices this picture that has been automatically uploaded, and she thinks, when she sees it, ‘oh, this is the person that I saw right next to me, but it’s a guy, not a girl.’”

7. Darwin Awards came to mind.....but I gave him credit for not

knowing the pic would autopost. Yours works! lol

9. He's not a Darwin Awards candidate

Because, so far as we know, he didn't get killed doing this and you've got to either die or get your balls ripped off to qualify for the Darwins.

He is, however, fodder for the next episode of "World's Dumbest."

11. Is he in the Bag yet?

10. This has been all over our local news here in North Georgia today.

We have some real dumb asses in our law enforcement agencies, but they always get their man. I think they will have him within the next 24 hours.

14. I would be surprised if they didn't.

I wonder what he thought when he saw his face on the news...(assuming he has)

[petronius]

15. Hopefully he thought "Jeez, does my facial hair really look that stupid? I'd better

shave before my mug shot." :)

In a small way, I feel bad for this guy - he's going to be hearing this story from every direction for the rest of his life...

[Lucinda]

16. Yep. I know what you mean. This story will never go away for him.

Cause and effect though I guess.

17. Henry County

another used to be nice place turned to shit because the cops and the judicial system are basically dumbasses.

Sad.
