CRYSTAL, Minn. - Burglars who stole $30 worth of Skittles and Starburst candy from a Little League concession stand in this Minneapolis suburb left behind an incriminating piece of evidence. Police found a cell phone inside the building.

According to court documents, sometime after the theft on Saturday night, the phone's owner called the phone and identified himself. Officers arranged to meet him and return the phone, and a witness identified the man as one of the burglars.

Mitchell Scudder, 19, and Brian Current, 21, are charged in the theft. Court papers said a witness saw one suspect crawl out of the building's window and a second join him. Both dropped candy as they ran away.

Under questioning, Current allegedly told investigators he waited outside while Scudder entered the building. The complaint alleged the two filled a backpack with candy and ran when a car drove by.

When officers went to Scudder's door, he was chewing on some Skittles. :D Confiscated from the house were 20 bags of candy and another 20 packages found in a backpack, the complaint said.

Damage to the concession stand was estimated at $500 to $1,000.

Wow this should go in the Darwin award as a runner up winner.

You have to DIE doing something stupid to get a Darwin. (Or I suppose removing yourself from the gene pool in other stupid ways would at least qualify for a Social Darwin award). :)

like the guy two years ago who got high and cut off his manhood with a set of pruning shears

Actually, any sort of .. er.. prevention of procreation... can win you a Darwin. Honorable mentions are sometimes those who didn't actually die, but came very close. (And perhaps they will fail to reproduce due to public knowledge of their immense stupidity.)

I suppose that's what I was getting at.;)

it's like I can read your mind ;)

Scary, isn't it?? Next step for you is getting put on Ignore by Rudey.

Good to know. I thought next step was me going out for Spanish food with my coworker for lunch. Guess I was wrong.

Stealing from the Little League and then doing something this stupid.

I think the death penalty is in order.

Then, they can get a Darwin.

I just thought it was hilarious that one of the guys answered the door smacking on some Skittles when the cops came to his house LOL!!
