Mobile police have a new story for America's Dumbest Criminals.

Take a look at the picture on the right. Police say that's the face of a man wanted for a string of car break-ins throughout the city. Would you believe, the suspect took the picture with a camera he stole from a car and then left the camera behind.

Police found the camera and several other stolen items around 4 o'clock Saturday morning in an abandoned Ford Explorer on Brawood Drive off Springhill Avenue. They say the suspect took a picture of himself and a female companion. Police have not been able to retrieve the photo of the woman.

Police have linked the camera and the other stolen items found inside the SUV to a recent rash of car burglaries.

If you recognize the man in the photo, police want to hear from you. There are several ways to contact them. Just pick up the phone and call Mobile police (251.208.7211), Lt. Mike Morgan (251.402.6543) or the Fourth Precinct (251.438.7021). You can also email Capt. William Patrick at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
