Doing crime is dumb but it's even dumber to repeatedly post about it on Instagram

Three individuals arrested for stealing 13 high-performance Dodge vehicles. Social media posts incriminating the suspects led to their capture. Thieves face multiple charges, including conspiracy and vehicle theft. Stealing cars is obviously a crime, and stealthy criminals sometimes find a way to evade capture. More often, though, suspected car thieves get caught and that's especially likely when they blatantly brag about their illegal exploits online.

A little over two months later, investigators say Venegas appeared on social media where they pointed to a gray Dodge Charger and said Let's take that one. About four days later the owner of that same car reported it stolen and Venegas posted a video of himself driving said car. A week later a similar incident happened. A Challenger Hellcat was stolen and Venegas again posted a video of himself driving it. The next day, the owner of that car informed police that it had a GPS tracker inside.
