Thieves sell stolen goods to owner
( 2003-10-14 14:24) (China Daily)
Three thieves were caught when they unwittingly tried to sell their stolen
goods back to the original owner, reports Beijing Evening News.
Someone broke into Lu's small printing and copy shop, stealing his laptop
computer and some other equipment.
Several days later, as he strolled along Dabeiyao Street, three young people
approached him and asked if he wanted to buy a cheap laptop computer. Lu was
surprised to see that the model they were selling was identical to the one he
had just lost.
Lu took his time looking over the laptop, pretending he was interested in
buying it, until he was certain that it was in fact his. The three thieves were
arrested after Lu called police.
