Man nabs tent thief on eBay

2008-06-23 21:39

Berlin - A German camper who tried to buy a tent after his was stolen, stumbled upon the original on eBay along with information leading to the arrest of the thief, police said on Monday.

They said the 45-year-old from the western city of Bochum spotted a picture of the tent that disappeared from his cellar a fortnight ago while trawling the internet auction site on Sunday.

"Bigger even than his delight at getting the tent back, was his surprise when he discovered in the course of the transaction that the seller lived in his apartment block," the police in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia said.

They arrested the man's 19-year-old neighbour and found several other stolen items in the suspect's home.
