A man was captured after allegedly burgling a home when he used a computer in the house to check his Facebook profile.

Jonathan G. Parker, 19, of Fort Loudoun, Pennsylvania, was charged with daytime burglary after seemingly forgetting to log out of the social networking site after stealing two diamond rings, The Journal reports.

The alleged victim reported the crime to the police before noticing that her computer had been used and that the Facebook profile was still open.

During the investigation, the victim was told by a friend that the suspected criminal was staying in the same area.

When police visited that home, an acquaintance said that Parker did not live at the address and added that he had asked him for help to break into the victim's house, though he refused.

Parker was placed in custody at Eastern Regional Jail on $10,000 (£6,125) bail and could face up to ten years in prison if convicted.

Note to self: If I ever decide to rob a house, I should probably refrain from checking my E-mail or Facebook
