A bungling burglar who broke into a car was caught after leaving his mobile phone on the seat - resulting in police labelling him "not the brightest".
Thief Hayden Fenwick Blades stole around £15 from the vehicle during the incident in Murton, County Durham, but forgot to cover his tracks properly.
The 25-year-old's mobile, which had messages from his probation officer trying to get in touch with him was found at the scene by police officers.
