Wow, that's freaky... I own that exact same model of pellet gun. I had to go check to be sure mine was undisturbed...
What kind of moron takes a picture of himself using the phone that he stole? Some criminals just BEG to be caught.

Congrats on the milestone, Randy! Was it really January 11th that you posted the first Mug Shot? Whatever date you started posting these Mug Shots (which, once again, was a great date and a great idea), it is completely amazing and scary that you have so much great material in such a few short months (even if you've used some archive stories)! Talk about lunatic fringe!!! LOL Congrats again!!!

I've always said there has never been a shortage of material for me to work with. This is just more proof -- and I pass over more than half of what I see! -rc

Great work! I have been reading ThisIsTrue since 1995 and really look forward to seeing the "Mug of the day". Look how long COPS has been on TV - no shortage of idiots out there making complete fools of themselves.

I kinda thought this was funny when I first read it in Dec 2009 in This Is True.
Imagine when my 11 year old daughter found her missing phone and was going thru it to see if any calls were made (there was none) and then was looking at pictures, finding 3 images of her classmate on it. All 3 of them were taken in the mirror with the classmate holding the cellphone.
My daughter showed it to the school's front office. They laughed as the girl had been blamed for missing phones but they didn't have any evidence. (They then checked her backpack that day and found 2 phones that didn't belong to her in it!)
At least it was only a cellphone in her hands.

For a site that "...can't possibly have any socially redeeming value..." (This is True #820), apparently way too many people disagree with Edward.

To answer Jeff, Northern California, there was a case of a stolen Polaroid camera. Remember those? Well, when the police came to investigate, they ended up following a trail of photos that the thieves had taken of themselves. It seems the idjits didn't know that Polaroids take time to develop the picture, so they were tossing the "bad" photos away! Some folks shouldn't be allowed out of the house without adult supervision.
