- BURAIDAH, QASSIM: It goes without saying that every thief should know who his victims are or where they live.
- However, one bungling thief’s forgetfulness landed him in police custody in Buraidah recently.
The young thief stole jewels worth half a million riyals from the house of a jewel merchant in the city recently. The burglary was carried out in the most professional style, so no clues were left behind for the police to follow. However, he did not bother to find out more about his victim, particularly his profession.
A few days later the jewel trader received a customer in his shop, who said he wanted to sell his wife’s jewels because he had to repay a huge debt. The merchant could not believe his eyes when he realized that the jewels displayed by the customer were the same stolen from his house. He called the police discreetly and the thief was arrested, Al-Eqtisadiah daily reported on Monday.
