SUGARLOAF KEY, Fla. (CBS/AP) MySpace is YourSpace.

Investigators say it wasn't hard to find a teenager who broke into a Florida Keys home, since he was good enough to leave a computer inside logged onto his MySpace account.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office reported the 18-year-old was charged with burglary, theft and possession of burglary tools after Sunday night's break-in.

Deputies said a caretaker for the Sugarloaf Key home reported the break-in.

They said they found empty soda and food containers, and some marijuana on a coffee table.

They say the burglar, who they easily tracked down, said he broke into the home to get out of the unseasonably cold weather.

Still, it's the farthest thing from a cold case.
