PALMA
DOZY thieves snatched a web-cam from a Puerto Pollensa villa - without realising the device was filming their every move.
The theft, from a home belonging to Sussex businessman Russell Carman, happened during the summer, but baffled Guardia Civil officers have still to recover the camera despite it transmitting over 100 images of the crooks and giving vital clues to the location of the equipment.
Carman said: The web cam was preprogrammed and the person responsible for the theft did not realise what it was. We spend quite a bit of time in the resort, so two days after the theft I logged on to my computer and discovered that the camera was transmitting pictures of the men and items of equipment.
