TRAIL COULD LEAD TO TRIAL

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Criminal

A man suspected of stealing from Dunkin’ Donuts left behind a trail of footprints in the snow for police to follow.

The night manager was cleaning the donut shop in the early hours of the morning when a robber, decked out in a black woolen ski mask, walked into the store. Holding a handgun, he demanded money and the night manager
emptied the register. The thief got away with $70. Fortunately for the police, our hapless felon left footprints in the snow, which eventually turned into bike tracks. The police diligently followed the trail, which led to the 51 year old suspect.

Course, if all that tracking left the cops feeling a little peckish, the could always follow the trail back again. The moral of the story is - if you're gonna rob a Dunkin Donuts, only do it in the summer.
