German Burglar Pays Dearly For Credit Card Trick

A hapless German thief snapped his credit card in two while prying open a lock, inadvertently leaving behind his name and account details for police.

“He tried to copy what he’d seen them do on television, but the flat-owner woke up and the criminal ran away,” a police spokesman said on Wednesday. “The victim called up and read us the details off the card.”

“When we got round to the burglar�s house, the other half of his credit card was sitting on his kitchen table.”

The 29-year-old burglar was trying to open the door to his neighbour’s flat in Moenchengladbach in western Germany, police said.
