Once Upon A Time….

…There were two drunken idiots who decided that it would be fun to try to break into a building and steal things. Now, this sort of thing happens all the time, but most idiots, even when in a drunken condition know that it is generally a really bad idea to try to break into the local police station.

Sylva (North Carolina) Police Detective Aimee Sumner said the two suspects were arrested on January 6 only hours after they stole flag poles, flags and a sign during their attempted break-in at the station.

"They had cake and icing all over them," said Sumner, adding that the suspects had been drinking and were seen earlier at a birthday party serving birthday cake in a restaurant.

After noticing the damaged door of the police station was smeared with cake and frosting, she said, a police officer followed the crumb trail out onto Main Street where he also found a lid with the same frosting.

The cake and frosting matched that found on the two suspects when they were later apprehended, Sumner said, adding that there was also additional evidence linking them to the crime.

CSI: New York Cheesecake. It could be the next big franchise. But these guys deserve some sort of special recognition. We here at Blue Crab Boulevard hereby inaugurate the Double Reverse Hansel and Gretel Memorial Criminal Mastermind Award®. Congratulations, guys! I imagine once the rest of the inmates learn what you're in for, things will get a bit Grimm.

  Very occasionally one is forced, through no fault of his own, to break into a police station. Sobriety is usually called for.

  Yes, but it’s a lot more fun when you’re stone-drunk and smeared in icing, ain’t it?
