Idaho man Daniel Damico, suspected of stealing a wallet from the desk of a prospective employer - of all people - has been arrested after calling police to report that his own wallet was missing.

Boise police realized the man who reported the missing wallet matched the description of the suspected wallet thief and arrested the 25-year-old on suspicion of burglary and grand theft, reports The Idaho Stateman. 

Police say they believe Damico disposed of the stolen wallet, but used a credit card to buy tobacco at two stores. It was when he was leaving the second store Tuesday that he thought he may have dropped his own wallet.

Police recovered the credit card and the stolen wallet. Officers suspect someone else found Damico's wallet. Damico's wallet has not been found.
