33 year old man, who was described as a regular customer, handed in an application form for a job at a garage.
The cashier was out in the shop moving stuff on shelves, and while he was chatting to her he decided to have a 'wage advance' and tried to dip the till.
She turned towards him and he stopped.
He tried again when she turned away, but she turned again, so he stopped again.
Third time lucky?
Yes, she turned away again, still chatting, he opened the till drawer, took a handful of notes, stuffed them into his pocket and then closed the drawer again.
Obviously he had no idea he was on CCTV.
Did they trace him by way of his DNA?
No, they didn't.
Did they trace him by way of his fingerprints?
No, they didn't.
Did they trace him by way of his face being on the screen of the CCTV.
No, they didn't.
How did they catch him then, I hear you ask...
Simples!
He had filled out the application form using his real name and address.
