God has his funny ways...

I call this the "Dan Brown" moment cos if you read his books, the culprit/evil mastermind is always someone who is within the hero's grasp all the time but doesn't realise it till the end of the story.

this is a real story btw!

Taxi-driver's own goal

A taxi driver unwittingly became the getaway driver for a thief who had just burgled his home.

Mr Shen, of Huainan city, picked up the passenger at a bus stop at around 3am, reports Xin'an Evening Post.

"He had a lot of home appliances, so I helped him put all of his things into the cab," he said.

"I noticed he had a fish without a tail, and I thought how much it looked like the fish in my freezer at home. But then I laughed at myself for even having the thought."

The passenger said he had just returned from a trip to his home town and had been dropped off by a long distance bus.

Mr Shen only realised the truth when he later returned home to find his house broken into and his possessions - including the tail-less fish - missing.

Police later arrested a 56-year-old man who faces charges of burglary and theft.
