Criminally stupid

One person unlikely to be welcome at a Mensa meeting in the near future is Jovan Cummings, who celebrated robbing a Dollar General store in Florida by uploading pictures of himself, with the loot and the gun he used, to his Facebook page.

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that a detective looking at the surveillance video thought he recognised the suspect - and solved the crime by typing Jovan's name into Facebook's search engine, and looking at the results.

The lesson: if you're going to take photos of yourself with the proceeds of a robbery, put it on MySpace, where no one will find you.
