Robbing an Apple Store is dangerous

Derby Street A man was caught in Weymouth, Massachusetts (3 out of 7 MacUser bloggers are currently choosing the state for residence) after robbing an Apple Store. The perp used a typical smash and grab technique, which ultimately became his biggest mistake. He smashed the storefront, grabbed a bunch of iPods and ran away.

Because he broke the glass, he sustained several serious cuts.

Just minutes before at about 1:30 a.m., Dillon allegedly used a monkey wrench to smash the glass in the front door of the Apple Store. The trail of blood led to the iPod display where police think Dillon used his arm to swipe the iPods off the counter and into the pink laundry tub that he was carrying. When he left the store he cut himself again on the broken glass as he tried to get the tub out the door.

“Police saw the trail of blood to the iPod case and saw that is was heavier as he exited,” Hingham Lt. Michael Peraino said.

Tis the season to steal the hot gifts, but clearly this wasn’t the most brilliantly executed job.

This summary doesn't tell half the story. Read the article pointed to by the link. This guy was a complete moron.

The article says that officer Schraut was arrested:

"Hingham was notified and arrested Schraut at the scene. "

Why'd they do that?
