Bicycle burglar leaves ID outside victim's house

An electric bicycle burglar was nabbed after he left his identification
card outside the home of one of his victims in Shandong province.

Lao Sun, a villager in Linqu county, returned home one morning last month
and realized his new electric bicycle, which he parked in the courtyard, had
vanished.

Police found an ID card outside Sun's home and traced it back to the thief
who apparently stole 20 bicycles.

The suspect surnamed Wang said he became addicted to the Internet and
needed money to support his addiction. He targeted farmers because they seldom
locked up their bicycles.
