In these days of CCTV it doesn't pay to have your name and date of birth tattooed on the back of your neck.

Aaron Evans, an illiterate 21 year old, attempted to steel a car in Bristol, UK. Unfortunately for him, he was caught when police used CCTV images showing the tattooed details on the back of his neck to pick him up.

Even more unfortunately for Evans, the car had been left by Avon and Somerset Police officers with a covert camera concealed inside, which took the damning pictures.

Evans pleaded guilty at Bristol Magistrates' Court and was sentenced to seven months in prison.
