stu Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 An Italian thief accidentally turned himself in after losing his cellular phone while robbing an elderly lady, calling his own number to meet the finder -- and unwittingly arranging a date with police. The 77-year-old victim handed over the phone that the bag snatcher had dropped to police, who lured the thief to a meeting where he was arrested, news agency Agi reported Monday. Agi said the man had been freed from prison recently under an Italian mass pardon meant to ease congestion in jails. By the time police were waiting for him at the meeting point, the 35-year-old had already robbed another old lady and was riding a stolen scooter, Agi said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060919/od_nm/...c&printer=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
