LIKE. Cops are giving a thumbs up to this gold toothed douche, who allegedly posted his picture on his victim's Facebook page.The young mom was picking up her son from the McDonough, GA daycare last month when the sneak thief moved in and took her, purse which contained her credit cards, checkbook and phone.
She told cops that she'd noticed a guy with "distinctive gold teeth and braids" in a black Toyota Rav 4 nearby, but had left her car unlocked as she only expected to be a few seconds.
That was all it took for him to strike.
Then a a few days later a friend contacted her to let her know that a "strange man's picture" had appeared on her Facebook wall.
Henry Police Major Jason Bolton explained to Atlanta's Journal Constitution: "The suspect apparently took a picture of himself on the victim's phone, and due to her settings, it automatically uploaded to her Facebook page."
"The phone was set up to upload to hers. We don’t know for sure, but he meets the description of the suspect."
“Obviously, this individual had no idea that her phone had these settings on it that caused it to automatically upload to Facebook. I’m thinking he’s going to be pretty surprised,”
He added: "We’ve used Facebook in the past to solve some cases, or help get warrants, but never have we seen a case like this where the potential suspect provided his own picture to us to use in the investigation.
“We don’t normally get pictures with this sort of clarity, and it’s just real exciting to have a picture that the quality is this good that we can put out there."
The picture has been now been distributed widely with police hoping it will lead to the capture of the alleged thief.
Bolton asked that anyone recognizing the suspect call investigators at 770-288-8266.
