You can tell a lot about a person from their Facebook profile picture. Some girls really have a thing for bathrooms, while others enjoy using obscure angles of their heavily made-up eyeballs. And then you have the brave adventurers who combine both.

At least this hasn’t lead to (many) arrests. But four teens in Pittsburgh got busted for robbing a market by posting pictures of their stolen goods all over, yup, Facebook. According to Huff Post, their loot consisted of about $8,000 worth of cash, cigarettes, candy, and checks. But. More importantly…omg did they look fatt?

    Two balirurges may not seem like a crime wave–unless they happen within 24 hours of each other and on your block(s). I am wondering if the West U pushpage could be used to alert residents quickly to these kinds of occurrences so that we would know to be more vigilant about locked gates, setting alarms and watching out for neighbors’ homes. I am certain that if the Robinhood neighbors who saw and heard suspicious activity on Tuesday night had been apprised of the Georgetown burglary the night before, they would have called the police immediately. I know that the crime stats are published weekly, but for this sort of event where homes are entered violently, is there any way a warning could go out in a more timely manner?
