BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A woman in Germany was surprised when the intercom system she was using to monitor her sleeping baby picked up a radio conversation in which a luckless would-be thief described his bungled robbery of a nearby bar.
"Instead of hearing her baby's wails, the mother got the 46-year-old's confession. She then informed police," authorities in the western city of Bochum said in a statement.
The man had been talking about the attempted robbery to friends over a CB radio set, when the transmission was intercepted up by the baby's intercom system.
Police arrested the man, who confessed to the abortive raid.
