| Burglar left finger behind |
| 2006-07-29 |
| A burglar was caught after he left his finger at the crime scene and police found his prints in their database. Michael Baumgartner, 31, was spotted breaking into a leisure centre in Hamburg, Germany. He fled when police arrived but a ring on his index finger caught on a metal fence and ripped his finger off. Police found the severed digit on the ground and used it to track down the thief. But it was too late to reattach the finger despite surgery at a local hospital. |
