A millionaire from Fengxiang Town of Jiangsu Province was recently arrested by police for committing numerous thefts, which he says he did for excitement.

Local police in July were frequently alerted about stealing, and became suspicious about a sedan parking near the locations of the thefts.

The sedan's owner was finally caught while shopping with a stolen coupon.

The man, surnamed Liu, admitted that during previous months he had stolen money and other items valued at over 80,000 yuan (US$9,864).

Liu, who had previously been imprisoned for stealing, had been freed years ago and earned properties valued at over 1 million yuan (US$123,000) by doing business. He began to steal again in April, however, allegedly in pursuit of excitement.
