STEVENS POINT, Wis. - A woman didn't have to look far to figure out who likely broke into her home and took a camera from her purse. Police said the burglar left behind his probation and parole card.

The woman was going through her purse after the burglary earlier this month to make sure nothing other the camera was taken, Detective Sgt. Tony Babl said.

She found the man's probation and parole card, which had a date and time stamp on it for his next appointment, he said.

"He must've had the card in his hand when he went into her purse," Babl said. "He doesn't even know how it got there."

The man had not yet been charged as of Saturday, though police plan to request burglary charges in the next week for at least eight incidents over the past three years, Babl said.

Wow, how to get off easily in a robbery case:
Steal a parole card, drop it at the scene of the crime, and I'll get off scot free.

you'd think they'll probably dust the purse for prints, no?

You make a good point.
But if the cops lean on him and he did it, then he'd crack pretty fast.

Yeah, but the guys prints will be on his parole card no matter what. Now if they are in the rest of the place, then he is nailed.
