Hot Cross Buns

If you live in Madison, Wisconsin, some of the baked goods you buy from local bakeries may be hot. Not temperature-wise, mind you. Hot as in made with stolen goods.

The bakery reported thefts of ingredients such as oil, sugar, eggs and flour, and occasionally, the delivery truck.

Police said the suspected burglar took the products to area bakeries in the delivery truck during off-business hours, sold them, and then returned the truck.

The man, from Madison, was arrested Friday night without incident. Police said they caught him stealing bakery goods, while the truck was running outside.

The man was taken to the Dane County Jail and booked on a probation warrant. Police said they would send charges to the District Attorney's office early this week. They said they expect charges will include at least three counts of burglary and operating a motor vehicle without the owner's consent.

You know, if he had taken that much initiative with a legal profession, he could have been quite a success.
