A Florida man wasn't ready for his close-up, but got one anyway -- after stealing one surveillance camera during a robbery, but leaving another one to capture him in the act.
Brian Isom broke into Kim's Cabbage Patch by shattering the front door with a brick, then walking inside to survey the joint. Seeing a camera mounted on the wall, he disassembled it and stuffed it into a bag, then grabbed a variety of items, including a bucket containing about a hundred bucks worth of quarters.
What Isom didn't notice was the second camera, which showed him covering his hands with T-shirts to avoid leaving fingerprints. Unfortunately for him, his face was clearly visible to the cop who viewed it and instantly recognized him from multiple previous run-ins, including busts for grand theft auto, burglary and possessing cocaine.
