Default Photo booth captures purse snatcher in the act

This was on the news in Germany some years ago.

Woman is sitting in a self-service photo booth in the Bonn train station, purse on a shoulder strap, over her shoulder. Bagsnatcher sees it, thinks it's an easy take, goes for it. Woman holds on, however, and she and the bagsnatcher struggle. Bagsnatcher is momentarily pulled into the booth, and -- you know the rest -- the camera goes off! A few minutes later, police have arrived and the booth produces a nice profile photo of the guy.

Cops caught him about four hours later.
