What are the odds of that?

Man, talk about your crazy coincidences:

A German teen-ager caught shoplifting tried to dupe police by lying about where he lived -- but ended up in even more trouble when the address he gave turned out to be the home of an investigating officer.

[...]

"It was complete coincidence," said a police spokesman. "The thief gave that address because he'd once lived in the house. The policeman was the guy who moved in afterwards."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...things like this lead me to believe that God not only exists, but also has a pretty decent sense of humor.
