crime scene tech support

it’s been a long time since i’ve been inspired by a “business model of the hour” – but i got one today after reading this story at reuters.

it’s not really a notable story, and i’m not sure why it’s on a wire service… a 17-year-old thief leaves pictures of himself at the scene of the crime and gets busted.

we all know the long history of “stupid criminal” stories, but this one inspires me to consider offering a crime scene tech support service. i may not be able to help you with all the finer details of being a smart criminal, but with a team of 24/7 geeks-on-call, i can at least remind you that once you start taking pictures at the scene of the crime, you don’t want to leave them there.

that’s probably too simple… (a real geek would walk you through the “format card” menu)… but i still think a lot of stupid criminal issues these days could be solved with an on-call tech support service.
