Police: Suspected arsonist leaves birth certificate at fire scene
WAUKESHA, Wis. - Police said a suspected arsonist was arrested after they found his birth certificate at the scene of a fire this week.
The 19-year-old man from Waukesha was arrested Wednesday after officials found his birth certificate at the scene of Sunday's fire, Waukesha Fire Marshal Brian Charlesworth said.
"You would think somebody wouldn't do that," Charlesworth said. "But, fortunately for us, they did."
The man was also being held in connection with a fire on May 29 that damaged a historic home in town.
Police and firefighters noted similar characteristics between the two fires. The most recent fire was a series of small ones at a telecommunications business, said Lt. William Graham. The man's birth certificate was found at the back of the building, he said.
Immigration officials have been contacted because the man told police he was in the country illegally, he said. Charges could come as soon as Friday, he said.

Yes, we can.
Stupid.
This reminds me of the guy who robbed some place and still had his work's name tag on him. o.o

And the place he happened to rob...was his own workplace!
Actually for me, every single crime where a lot of evidence was left around goes back to when I was in 4th grade when vandals TOTALY tagged up a school with spraycans and other things. Reeeeaaaal bad. Only, they left everything behind, the cans and all and they were like able to find them by fingerprints. Kinda cool.

Something similar happened in my school..
Last year there was this day where all classes had a trip to somewhere, except the 9th-graders who stayed at school painting the fence in the school yard (it was what they chose as a project).
Some boys from 9th were stupid enough to vandalize the inner floors with spray cans right on the day when they were the only people in the school!
Reminds of someone who robbed the local dollar store...
Or the one who tried to rob a bank with whipped cream on his face.
