ST. PAUL (AP) -- It wasn't hard for police in St. Paul to catch three teenagers suspected of burglarizing a vending machine. They just followed a trail of Cheetos.

Officers were called to a rec center, where they found a vending machine's glass had been broken with a chair. Most of the candy and chips were missing. The policemen followed the orange, dusty trail from the rec center around the side of the building and to a nearby home. Inside, they found numerous vending-sized bags of Cheetos and other snacks. Police arrested three male teens who soon arrived at the home by car. All three denied being involved.

Where were the Parents through all of this. I hope that the Kids get a hefty attenetion getter. Now if the Law gives the Power back to the Parents, then maybe they could discipline their kids without fear of the Polive. This is how they start out, how sad this really is.
