A man who pinched a suitcase from a train wore the Burberry scarf he discovered inside as he burgled a railway station the next day.
Scott Connolly, from Stockport, enjoyed a festive crime spree on December 30 and 31 last year. Manchester Magistrates Court heard how Connolly, 43, first stole a suitcase belonging to a passenger on a train.
It contained items worth more than £1,000, including a Burberry scarf. The case was later found abandoned with most of the contents missing, including the scarf.

But on the following day, New Year's Eve, Connolly wore the luxury scarf as he carried out his next crime. The court heard Connolly illegally entered the staffroom at Macclesfield railway station, in Cheshire.
He emerged shortly afterwards with a rucksack and a TK Maxx carrier bag, which both belonged to staff members. The rucksack contained a cash card which was used twice by Connolly following the theft.
Following an investigation by British Transport Police, Connolly, of Wilkinson Road, Stockport, pleaded guilty to two counts of theft. He was jailed for 25 weeks.
Following the sentencing, investigating officer PC Molly Brunton-Cole said: "The very fact that Connolly had the audacity to return to the scene of the crime with the sole intent of committing more crime while wearing one of the items he had stolen the previous day is an indication of his character. It is hoped that his time in jail will be spent wisely and he will feel some remorse for stealing the hard earned property of others."
