Chongqing police, who recently arrested a thief in his apartment, were shocked by the thief's ambitious career plan on the wall. He even gave it a title: "Getting One Million Plan in 2015".

An elderly woman, surnamed Li, reported a home break-in theft that happened when she was out with her grandchild on May 10.

With the help of a HD surveillance camera in Li's home, which captured the whole scene of the theft, the police managed to get the identity of two suspects and quickly capture them.

In the apartment of a suspect surnamed Luo, police surprisingly found a "career plan", according to which he planned to steal 84,000 every month, or 2,800 daily.

Luo also planned to buy an apartment and a car for his younger brother. He even thought about establishing a charity school with the money.

For these goals, he added an economical rule for himself: spending 30 to 50 yuan every day for transportation only.

An ex-convict, Luo was also sentenced to prison ten years ago for theft.

He received vocational training after he was released three years ago. Although the obsession with "quick money" led him back to his "old job".
