No punchline required.

I missed the citation for this, but while flipping radio channels on the way in to work, I caught a story about someone who stole a delivery truck full of donuts.
But the back door was ajar, and as the burglar took off, donuts kept falling out of the back of the truck.
Leaving a really nice trail down the highway.
Which the local police were able to follow on foot, without resorting to jelly-sniffing hound dogs, or a helicopter with glazed seeking radar.
They found the truck a short time later and called in a 10-60.
