From the New York Daily News: Burglary is generally a poor life choice — and even less advisable when
authorities have a global tracking device strapped to your ankle.
Still, registered sex offender Wilbert Matheney, 48, staged a recent
home invasion robbery in Southern California wearing a court-ordered
ankle monitor and the long salt-and-pepper hairdo that made him a famous
figure in his upscale Sylmar neighborhood, police said.
He was arrested Thursday and booked for residential burglary with no
bail due to his post-conviction conditions and status as a sex
registrant, police said.
"I think this is one of those situations where the community knew he
was someone to be concerned about and kept an eye out. They fingered him
pretty quickly," Los Angeles Police Det. William Cooper told the Daily
News.
"He denied it at first. He still denied it after learning we had
pictures of it going off at the location. He claims it's a mistake,"
Det. Cooper said.
According to cops, Matheney entered the residence at 6 p.m. the evening
of Aug. 30 while two residents — a 90-year-old man and 48-year-old
woman — were relaxing at home.
The female roommate told police she encountered a suspect with
salt-and-pepper hair who ran from the house with a laptop computer.
She told officers she recognized the burglar as a man who helped her with an electrical problem a week prior.

This is definitely a very remarkable news considering that global tracking device being strapped in the suspect's ankle... a bit funny. But, that's good technology. Two thumbs up!
