MySpace leads police to burglary suspects

Two teens accused of burglary were caught after they apparently failed to log off a MySpace.com account on a computer in the home. The 16-year-old stepbrothers were charged Monday with burglary and grand theft as well as violation of probation.

While investigators from the Marion County, Florida Sheriff's Office were at the home investigating, they noticed the computer was on. When the mouse was touched, the screensaver turned off and the MySpace.com account of a person named "Spiders of Hearts" popped up, as did pictures of a boy who was later identified by detectives as the younger of the brothers. MySpace is a popular social networking Web site.

Detectives went to the boy's home and found one of two stolen digital cameras inside a backpack. The second camera at another home. The teens admitted they went into the unlocked home, took the cameras and got on the Internet to view their Web pages. - Full story at Ocala.
