Doughnuts do it!

When two guys in cowboy garb offered the sheriff’s deputies doughnuts, and then the deputies investigated a burglary involving doughnuts and the prints of cowboy boots, it didn’t take Sherlock Holmes to crack the case. “The officers kind of put two and two together,” Deputy District Attorney Dave Hopkins said at the sentencing of Adam Hancock, on theft and burglary charges. Sheriff’s deputies reported they found Hancock and his cousin, Vincent Whitely, in Roseburg, U.S., and the pair offered the officers doughnuts, which they declined. Shortly afterward, the officers investigated a burglary at a store from which cigarettes, candy, chewing gum and the telltale doughnuts were missing. And there were boot prints.
