Punter Shop Pilferer Put In Pokey By Poo On Shoe -- SYDNEY (Reuters) - A glob of dog excrement on a Queensland robber's shoe has been used as evidence to identify him, landing him with a 10-year stretch for a betting shop hold-up on Australia's Gold Coast. Police said Thursday they had used enhanced photos from a security camera to match the pattern of excrement found at the crime scene to that on 26-year-old Jacob Smith's shoe. "It's not rocket science. It's as plain as poo on your shoe," police sergeant Alan Piper, a veteran scientific officer, was quoted by local media as saying. "It could have been one of a thousand or ten thousand shoes, but because that poo was there it was creating a great big feature that allowed us to go to a positive identification." "I'd say there has been some more poo on the shoe but it has worn away," said Piper, who admitted to also doing a smell test. Smith, who had wrapped a sheet around his face to hide his identity during the heist, was jailed in June for 10 years and 10 months on charges of robbery, being armed and in company and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
POOP Gets On Your Shoe by MMario
(Tune: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes)
You wonder how they knew
The robber it was you
Sarge Piper replied, rocket science aside
easy identify!
How could we not have found
The leavings of the hound
When you put your foot in to the doggy-doo,
Poop gets in your shoe!
Now Jacob Smith it's true
Would I lie to you?
The camara caught the vile brown spot!
poop gets in your shoe!
Poop gets in your shoe!!!!!!!
