Here's a word of advice to all you would-be thieves out there – if you steal an Xbox and decide to play around with it, don't forget to turn off the console's auto sign-in feature. Otherwise you might end up like our friend Jeremiah Gilliam.

Achievement Unlocked

After a recent burglary, Gilliam decided to use his newly acquired Xbox 360 and indulge in some online play. Little did he know that the very same person he had stolen the console from was trying to access his profile from another 360. When the victim was notified that he was already online, he immediately informed his parents and the local authorities were contacted.

Using the IP Address to track Gilliam's whereabouts, police were stunned at the treasure trove of stolen goods they discovered:

"At the house, we found Xboxes, PlayStations, GPS units, laptops — a total of 53 items, including stolen credit cards."

Gilliam, who was already under investigation for 13 robberies of unlocked cars, has now been charged with grand larceny.  Game over.
