Idiot Vandals Caught Because of MySpace

Nothing says “fun” like trashing a few trailers at a construction site. Nothing says “dumbass” like using the computers at the construction site to update your MySpace blog while you are doing it.

MySpace.com leads detectives to two suspects

By MICHAEL MELLO

PATTERSON It was the next best thing to leaving a calling card.

Investigators said two teens who “completely thrashed” three building contractors’ trailers this week used a computer in one of them to access several pornography sites. One of the boys also logged onto his MySpace.com Web site to write several messages, then left the screen up when he fled the trailer, police said.

“It was pretty awesome to find that Web site on there,” Detective David Hickman said. “It had his name, phone number and address. It was like an invitation: ‘Give me a call. Come arrest me.'”
