Digital Spycam Captures Cereal Thief

Digital Spycam Captures Cereal ThiefYou've heard of serial killers, but what about cereal thieves?

That was the very sort of criminal recently terrorizing employees of a company called The Marketing Store in Sydney, Australia, according to the Telegraph. The company's staff would return to work in the morning to find their breakfast goodies eaten, the staff shower used, and some other signs of trespass. To catch the culprit, they hid a motion-sensitive digital camera, which captured a few clear pictures of the man, who was later confronted by security and told to never return.

The unidentified thief was sneaking in through a ventilation shaft at about 4am, eating breakfast, washing up, and then leaving again. As he was only taking cereal and not any of the expensive computer equipment nearby, the company decided against pressing charges, but he was told to never enter again. The best part?
