According to The Smoking Gun, Michael Baker, a not-so-smart 20-year-old American, was arrested after posting a photo of him stealing gasoline from a police car on his Facebook profile.

Smarty Baker doesn't have any kind of privacy filtering enabled on the social network, and his profile is available to anyone who wants to chat. The boy was found after the photo taken by his girlfriend - in which he poses with his middle finger duly raised - began to circulate on Facebook and eventually fell into the hands of Jenkins police, who Baker stole the fuel from a month ago.

By the way, we visited the boy's profile, and learned that he lives in Kentucky, likes the series The Big Bang Theory, which has already deleted the infamous photo from his mural and just got out of prison.
