If you steal a debit card don't sign receipts with Thief
Pennsylvania Man (what you thought this was gonna be Florida Man?) signed receipts where he had used a stolen debit card as Thief.
Police report that the male suspect swiped the card from a woman who gave him a ride home from a bar last week. The debit card, cops say, was inside a purse in the center console of the womans vehicle.
The victim, Joei Thompson, noticed the purse was missing the following day and filed a report with police in Butler, a Pittsburgh suburb. But Thompsons debit card had already been used to purchase a $200 iPhone 6S at a MetroPCS store and a case of beer and pack of cigarettes from Butler Beer and Tobacco.
When cops examined the sales receipts for the two transactions, they discovered that the purchaser signed his name as "Thief."
The suspect used the surname Latimore during the iPhone purchase, which prompted Butler police to check a database that yielded the name Marc Latimore, who matched the description given by Thompson as to the male she gave a ride to.
