Another criminal mastermind

I wonder whether the cops find it enjoyable when criminals make it easy for them or if they find that it takes the fun and excitement out of their jobs:

A hapless German thief snapped his credit card in two while prying open a lock, inadvertently leaving behind his name and account details for police.

"He tried to copy what he'd seen them do on television, but the flat-owner woke up and the criminal ran away," a police spokesman said on Wednesday. "The victim called up and read us the details off the card."

"When we got round to the burglar´s house, the other half of his credit card was sitting on his kitchen table."

I mean, if he got rid of the other half of the credit card, maybe he could at least try to claim that it had been stolen or something, but no. He just leaves the other half of the evidence lying outh there for them to find. Sheesh. I bet they didn't even get to use any of their cool CSI equipment or anything.
