Just over a week ago, Duncan Grisby, one of this city’s many alpha geeks, invited readers of the legendary “cam.misc” discussion board to pop along to his Website to examine his action shots of a burglar. The thief had been filmed by the video Webcam that was sitting on top of the four thousand pounds’ worth of computer gear he managed to carry out of Dr Grisby’s flat. On police advice, Grisby immediately took the pics down, much to the disappointment of those of us at the Genome Campus who were late to the catch-a-chav show. The images are back now, because the criminal who was caught in the act has since been well and truly nicked by Her Majesty’s constabulary. [Thanks, yet again, to Hot Wheels Helena.]

Unfortunately this piece of scum will be out of prison in 5 1/2 months or less to carry on with his thieving ways (automatic parole for this length of sentence), even though he has been in prison for burgulary twice before. The law really does care more about the criminal than the victims and potential victims
