A fancy for beautiful gadgets may sometimes prove a costly affair in more ways than one -- as a burglar realised in Los Angeles, media reported.


The burglar entered a residence on Paloma Avenue in Venice area of Los Angeles around 7 am on July 11 through an unlocked door. While inside the living room of the residence, the suspect grabbed an iPhone lying on a table and accidentally activated a video application, which then took a selfie of the suspect, ABC30.com reported.
