In today's technology-laden society, hearing of crimes solved or cold cases cracked with state-of-the-art tech tools has become commonplace. But for one New Jersey family all it took to catch an alleged thief was a camera and a little luck.
John Myers and his family from Bloomfield, New Jersey, were visiting Madison, Wisconsin, to attend a friend's wedding Saturday at the state Capitol.
According to Myers, the family went outside after the ceremony to take pictures. He decided it would be a good idea to take a family portrait with his digital camera, and he set a bag down next to the building before stepping away to snap the shot.
Unbeknown to him, Myers -- as he captured the scene -- also caught a person red-handed stealing his bag.
"Looking back now it wasn't a good idea to leave my bag so far away," Myers told CNN on Tuesday. "But I just wasn't thinking of it at the time."
