A 45-year old German stumbles upon his stolen tent put up for auction on eBay, and uses the site to catch the thief.

"Bigger even than his delight at getting the tent back, was his surprise when he discovered in the course of the transaction that the seller lived in his apartment block," the police in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia said.

They arrested the man's 19-year-old neighbor and found several other stolen items in the suspect's home.
