The things typically targeted in a home burglary don't usually stray from expensive items -- televisions, computers, fancy jewelry.
But others let their (sweet) tooth -- rather than their wallets -- guide the way.
Police in Alpena, Michigan, were responding to a report of possible breaking and entering on Oct. 18 and found a young woman several blocks away, covered in cake and frosting, who they believed to be intoxicated.
The homeowner reported that someone had stormed through the house, knocking over several items, including a tray of cupcakes, according to local Michigan news site MLive.com.
A police report at the time described the woman found nearby as “highly intoxicated,” with “cupcake frosting and cake all over her torso and legs.” She was later taken to Alpena County Jail on charges of unlawful entry and malicious destruction of property, according to Alpena police.
