Melbourne, Australia: A 34 year old man has been charged with burglary and assault after he made the mistake of stealing a bicycle from a guy who draws pictures for a living.

The sports cartoonist, 82 year old Bill Green, sketched a likeness of the man he saw stealing his cycle, reports The Mirror.

Police were then able to match the picture to a man caught for a different burglary.

Police told the paper:

"Holding up the cartoon, officers were amazed to find it was the spitting image of the man"
