Dumb burglar posts his pic on victim's Facebook page

The Facebook photo of Rodney Knight

If there was a dumb burglar award it would definitely go to Rodney Knight Jr. Rodney robbed the house of Washington Post reporter Marc Fisher in December. Fisher blogged about the robbery for the Post. The thing is  – Rodney then went on Fisher's son's Facebook page and posted a photo of himself while wearing Fisher's son's coat and holding his cash, for all of the son's friends to see.

Fisher wrote, "He felt compelled to showboat about his big achievement: He opened my son's computer, took a photo of himself sneering as he pointed to the cash lifted from my son's desk, and then went on my son's Facebook account and posted the picture for 400 teenagers to see. In the picture, the man is wearing my new winter coat, the one that was stolen right out of the Macy's box it had just arrived in."

Rodney Knight, 19, pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary and to carrying a pistol without a license. He should get two extra years for stupidity.
