MADISON - The camera of a vacationing
New Jersey family who posed for a picture in front of the Wisconsin
State Capitol captured more than smiles. It also caught a thief in
the act.
John Myers, of Bloomfield, N.J., set
the self-timer on his camera and hustled into the frame with his
wife and two children Saturday. While their backs were turned,
someone grabbed their bag, which held Myers' wallet and other items.
After Myers discovered the bag
missing, he checked his camera. Sure enough, the image showed a man
picking up the bag.
Myers told the Wisconsin State
Journal that he showed the photo to officers, who recognized the
man.
When officers found him, he was still
carrying the bag.
The suspect pleaded not guilty
Tuesday to misdemeanor theft.
