Man tried to pay bartender with credit card he stole from bartender, say Miami cops

(CBS/AP) MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Rules to live by:

#1 - When stealing someone's credit card, don't try to use it at a store where the actual credit card owner works.

Police in Miami Beach say that's what happened when a homeless man broke into a car, stole a credit card and then tried to use it to buy a beer - from the bartender who owned the card.

The case was cracked when 53-year-old David Weber handed the card to the bartender who took his order Monday night. The Miami Herald reports the bartender noticed he had just been handed his own credit card. (eureka moment!)

The bartender called Miami Beach police. Weber was charged with credit card fraud and theft.

Police say Weber told them he found the credit card on the ground. He was being held in the Miami-Dade County Jail Wednesday.
