This is so ironic that no fiction writer would dare to try to put it in a story; nobody would believe it. A burglary suspect arrested by police cleverly gave a false address to avoid a search of his residence. The suspect was released after arraignment. A few hours later, said suspect became the victim of an armed robbery.
Whereupon he gave police his real address.
Police say 22-year-old Daniel Cabral was arrested Wednesday and charged with burglarizing a University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth building. He was arraigned and released until his next court date.
Hours later, he was robbed at gunpoint while walking home from a bar. He reported the robbery to police, this time giving them his real address instead of the phony address he reported earlier in the day, according to authorities.
Police arrested two suspects and a man accused of being an accomplice after the fact. They also obtained a search warrant for Cabral's real address and found computer equipment that had been taken from the UMass building as well as power tools that had been reported missing from a local theater.
Sometimes that old karmic wheel spins really, really fast, doesn't it?

He probably going to share a cell with the burglar who took a personal check from his victim and then went to cash it.

Or the bank robber that wrote his note to the teller on the back of a deposit slip from his own checking account.
