Man uses MySpace and craigslist to catch thief

by Trench on September 29th, 2007

Bike path robber foiled by MySpace page:
A man from Somerville, Mass. was robbed of his cell phone. Rather than doing nothing about it he montored craigslist for someone selling the phone which of course someone did.

With police assistance he set up a phony e-mail account and contacted the seller. While conversing with the seller he got the seller’s name, one 21-year-old Casey Kolenda.

The victim was able to identify the suspect through MySpace. Police and the victim then arranged to puerchase the phone where they arrested Kolenda and another suspect.
