It’s a good thing most criminals aren’t too smart.

Take, for example, a burglar being sought by the Los Angeles Police Department. They have one important clue: He took a picture of himself with the victim’s phone.

According to a July 17, 2015, UPI story, while rummaging through the house where he had broken in, “the burglar picked up an iPhone and accidentally activated a video application, which recorded him standing in the victims' living room."

Police released the video to the public in hopes of tracking the suspect.
