I couldn’t make this up if I tried. Last Saturday, two California farmworkers awoke to a burglar in their kitchen applying spices to a sausage. After using the sausage to attack the victims, the stranger fled with the owners’ money. Police later found the California man wearing only his boxers and socks in a nearby field and were able to identify him as the sausage-wielding perpetrator, since he left his wallet behind at the victims’ house.

In what would seem to be an open and shut case for prosecutors has one catch- the sausage tossed away by the fleeing suspect was subsequently eaten by a dog.
