Great moments in small town crime, part 4. . .


From StateCollege.com last Thursday:
Police: Candy-Bar Thief Identified after Losing Driver's License
by on August 11, 2011 3:56 PM

A man who stole about 10 candy bars from an Atherton Street convenience store was identified after he left his driver's license behind, State College police said.

Police said the incident happened about 4:15 a.m. Thursday at a Minit Mart, 106 N. Atherton St. The man reportedly put the candy bars in his pockets, then tried to buy a bag of potato chips before leaving the store, a police report shows.

He was tracked down after his driver's license was discovered in an aisle of the Minit Mart, having fallen from his person, police said.

Charges in the matter are pending. The man's name was not immediately released Thursday.


Now see, if like most young men in college towns he had had a fake ID, this wouldn't have been a problem.
