This Chicago Criminal attorney will admit to being surprised by some crimes. I understand theft, the taking of someone else’s property, during these tumultuous economic times. No, I still don’t think its right. I’ve even given chase, successfully to takers of my own property. That said if you are going to steal, perhaps you should be a bit more discreet about it.
April 13, Champaign, IL
On Feb. 28 at 3 a.m., a male victim was in a parking lot near the corner of Third and Gregory when he was attacked. Both his cell phone and money from his wallet were stolen.
About two days after the attack, a photo popped up on the victim’s Facebook wall. It was a photo of a man, believed to be one of the men who attacked him. The victim’s cell phone was programmed to transfer any new photos to his Facebook page whenever it was plugged into a computer.
Last week, Champaign police released the photo, asking the public for help in identifying the man.
Victims of a mugging rarely see their stolen items again, but in this case, technology has given police some unexpected help.
