Tracking software leads to suspect in computer theft

A man accused of stealing computers was caught with the help of tracking software. Ultimately, his past mug shot led to a new round of charges. A customer stole two laptops from the EZ Rent-to-Own store at 2974 W. 3500 South in Salt Lake City on Dec. 10. However, tracking software was loaded on the computers. A store employee later noticed someone logging onto the Internet with the stolen computers. The thief apparently was searching the Salt Lake County jail website for a mug shot of 41-year-old Shane Ellis Caster. The employee recognized that mug shot as the customer who stole the computers. Caster was arrested and charged with retail theft.I love it when stupid criminals basically catch themselves. It makes my day!
