A photo booth
snapped several photos of a man who allegedly stole $75 out of
the booth at the Funway Amusements arcade and bowling alley in
Batavia, Illinois, a town west of Chicago.
Police distributed the photos on Thursday and asked the public
to phone in if they recognize the suspect. Anonymous tips are
fine, the police said.
"With this machine, if you try to manipulate or damage it in any
way, it snaps a picture of you, which is odd because it's a
photo machine," said Batavia police detective Kevin Bretz.
"I don't think he paid for the pictures," Bretz said.
The detective said the alleged theft occurred in November, but
the police department was just able to recover the photos this
week after the machine was repaired.
