New York Criminals Busted by Trail of Macaroni Salad

You've heard of a trail of breadcrumbs, but how about a trail of macaroni salad?

It's more than a picnic side dish; it's the key piece of evidence that led Livingston County Sheriff's officers to suspects in a burglary case, according to Fox news.

Along with “cash register parts, surveillance system parts, rubber gloves, [and] loose change,” the assailants made off with a large bowl of macaroni salad, which they allegedly took turns eating as they made their escape.

Unfortunately, they--among other glaring deficiencies in propriety, mainly "not committing burglary"--no one instilled within them a sense of neat eating, as they left a  “steady trail of macaroni salad.”

Each man was charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree criminal mischief and fourth-degree grand larceny.

So I guess you could say these burger burglars were pathetically pinched by pasta.
