Laptop thieft caught on cam!!

Dawson Anthony Bliss, 50, of Hastings, was convicted in Greymouth District Court yesterday after pleading not guilty to a charge of theft.
The court was told a video of the theft from a window display at a computer shop was posted on the internet websites YouTube and Google Video. The man was taped slowly circling the store, stealing a laptop computer, slipping the computer into his overcoat and stepping out of the store in the South Island town of Greymouth, local media reported on Friday.
The video had recorded more than 500,000 hits, one of them from a man who recognised the thief as Bliss.
Judge Gary MacAskill fined Bliss $2000 and ordered him to pay $1990 reparation. He noted Bliss had behaved himself for six years but said he had lapsed into his old ways on a visit to Greymouth.
