It´s been a crazy month here on the Costa del sol.

but one story stood out in the stoopid category

After ten years on the run one of Italy’s most dangerous Mafia fugitives got himself arrested here on the Costa del Sol. His girlfriend posted his photo on Face book showing him at a restaurant in Marbella.

The Italian police said "When we saw the pictures on Face book we could not believe his girlfriend had been so stupid." the spokesman continued "It was very easy to track them down as she was stood in front of the Nikki Beach restaurant sign in Marbella." the police added "The man was 'not at all happy' with his Moroccan-born girlfriend."

So face book is not just for linking up with old friends!!
