The Facebook Burglar

In 2012, a burglar broke into a house in the Dutch town of Drachten. He stole valuables. He took electronics. And then, for reasons that defy all logic, he sat down at the victim's computer and logged into his own Facebook account.
He forgot to log out.
The homeowner came home to a ransacked house and a glowing screen displaying the burglar's full name, photo, hometown, and current employer. Police knocked on his door within hours. He was genuinely surprised they found him.
This is the story of the man who left more personal information at a crime scene than most people put on a dating profile.
