Photo booth snaps picture of robber who stole money from it.

BATAVIA, IL (KTRK) -- For one Illinois man, stepping inside a photo booth won't be the same anymore.

According to police in Batavia, Ill., the man entered a photo booth at the Funway Amusements and pried open the cash register. He was able to take close to $75, but while exiting, he left a lot more evidence behind.

The suspect had no idea the machine was taking photos the entire time.

The owner of the machine says it is designed to take photographs when it senses tampering to the cash register.
