Theft has been around since the days of the Caveman. It will continue in perpetuity. Here are just a few examples of people who really could use an online stop theft class. Thieves are known to keep keepsakes, but not diaries of their activities. This guy did and landed himself in serious trouble.

South Korea

A South Korean burglar has been arrested after police found details of his criminal exploits recorded in his diary, complete with addresses he hit and entries such as "Jackpot!"

The 42-year-old Seoul man, identified only as Kim, had stolen luxury bags, jewelry and electronic items worth 320 million won (about $280,000) from houses and shops over the past six years.

Caught on Camera

Kim was caught this month after a surveillance camera at an ATM recorded him trying to withdraw money using a stolen credit card. Kim initially denied burglary, but admitted to the crime after police raided his home. Along with piles of stolen goods, they found a diary that contained details of his crimes, including addresses of the houses he had burgled and an assessment of whether each day's haul was good or bad.

Keeping Score

Kim marked on the diary 'Jackpot!', 'So so' or 'Not so good' next to a house address, depending on how much he stole there.

Kim had also checked monthly horoscopes on the internet to pick the luckiest days to steal. Just another common thief. Please don’t steal.
