Apparently wanting to travel light, he did not take the victim's computer, but he did use it. To check his Facebook page. And he forgot to log off. Jonathan G. Parker, 19, of Fort Loudoun, Pa., was arraigned Tuesday on one count of felony daytime burglary and remains in custody in lieu of $10,000 bail, probably wondering what kind of grief his Facebook friends are posting on his wall.
