A tragicomic robbery. This is what Sunday morning became a real boomerang for those who, handling a stolen tablet in a room in the historic center, ended up recovering, thus providing irrefutable proof of their involvement in the memory of the device.

Let’s go in order. From when in the Dolcevitas in Piazza Paolo VI It is 8.30 in the morning. Those who work in the restaurant realize that something is wrong: despite the presence of staff and the possible arrival of customers, unknown persons crept in through a side entrance to the area of ​​the room where the personal effects of the employees are kept and stole what they found. Some coins and a tablet..

Technology can be of great use or reserve pitfalls for those who do not know how to use it correctly. Good for the robbery victim who quickly alert the police and at the same time remotely track the stolen tablet, activating the function with which many of the electronic devices equipped with gps are equipped. Then he informs the agents that the tablet at that precise moment is nearby via Foro Boario.

The experience of the police does the rest. In the area is the Sert, the Ats service that provides assistance to drug addicts. And it’s known that the urgency of a dose often leads to petty crime. Therefore, agents need little to locate the tablet and who has it with them. Enough for one complaint for receiving stolen goods, which is triggered by a 59-year-old man already known (and then already reviewed by the center by the victim himself …).

But the surprise of the agents and the legitimate owner is even more relevant when, when checking the status of the recovered tablet, they discover that accidentally, in the excited moments after the theft, it was activated the video camera of the tablet itself several times. Result: the managers immortalized in the most inconvenient video-selfie, first only the feet, then the full body. With a lot of audio in which, with an unmistakable Brescia accent, whoever operates the device asks: “How do you stop this robbery?”.
