A man in Taoyuan, Taiwan, named Qiang Ge, climbed a construction site's scaffolding to find a toilet when he couldn't locate one due to stomach pain. Unfortunately, he was mistaken as a thief, accused of stealing money from a nearby company. However, through Google Maps evidence, it was proven that the location where he entered the construction site was 11 buildings away from the burgled company, making it impossible for him to commit the theft. The court ultimately ruled him innocent, highlighting the discrepancies in appearance compared to the actual thief, lack of evidence like footprints and fingerprints, and the physical obstacles between the two locations.
