Talk about dopey: Cops say a New York man stole a woman's cell phone, photographed himself smoking dope with it, and posted the pic on her Facebook page by mistake. She had apparently set up the phone to post photos automatically on Facebook. He allegedly grabbed the 27-year-old victim's phone last Sunday at around 3am and ran off. Soon after, she spotted the photo on her Facebook page and called the cops. Police are investigating but still haven't identified the perp, the New York Post reports. (More Facebook stories.)
