British detectives have made short work of a bungling car thief who broke into an unmarked police car kitted out with CCTV cameras. To make matters worse for the aspiring criminal, he had his name and date of birth tattooed on his neck — making his arrest that much easier.
Aarron Evans, 21, pleaded guilty in Bristol Magistrates' Court to breaking into a covert police capture car in the city, according to UK media.
"We get such excellent images from these cameras that there is often — and never more so than in this case — no doubt who the criminal is," Supt Ian Wylie was quoted by the BBC as saying.
"Criminals won't be tolerated in Bristol and we will keep catching them and bringing them before the courts."
Evans, an illiterate man of no fixed address, was sentenced to seven months in jail.
The capture car — known as a "honeypot" — is a common technique used by British police to catch criminals in the act.
Officers bait the "honeypot" with a bounty of tempting items such as satellite navigation systems, handbags, car stereos and mobile phones.
Inside the car, cameras film the thief in the act.

Elementary my dear Watson....
Nothing silly about this bloke at all !!! Lets take the logical approach.
Since he is illiterate, he tattooed his details for others to see if need be.
Since he is of no fixed address, he committed a crime CLEARLY showing his details, in return having guaranteed a fixed address, with bed and meals three times a day, free sex if he is the stronger party, all at the taxpayers expense.
Sounds like a deal too good for him to refuse !!! Now who's the silly one ??? !!! ??
Can a foetus be aborted at 1132 weeks ??
