Jelly bean burglar

If you know me, you know I love candy.

Especially jelly beans.

Especially jelly belly beans.

Glorious, wonderful jelly beans.  There are so many flavors and there is even a game on the back of the package encouraging you to eat combinations (cherry and cola for cherry cola, etc.).  I am a sucker for variety. 

(This has nothing to do with this post whatsoever but did you know there are “manly” flavored jelly beans?  I’m not talking about the Harry Potter type ones that have flavors such as dirt and snot, but these guys have steak, burrito, coolant, beer, leather, and boob flavor.  Wow.)

I’m talking about jelly beans today because I saw a funny story and asked myself how far I would go to procure jelly beans.

Commit felonies?  Maybe.  Especially after a very long run, when I’m shaking due to depleted glycogen levels.

I found a similar-minded person in North East Township, Pennsylvania.  Apparently someone broke into a home, breaking a window by the front door to gain entry, stole jelly beans on the kitchen table, and left, stealing nothing else.  The police don’t have a suspect.  (I swear it was not me.)

One article said, the police are “not sure why anybody would go to all that trouble to steal only jellybeans.”  Well maybe if they were doughnuts…

The homeowners commented that nothing else was even moved.

So what do you think, did the homeowners make a claim with their homeowners insurance?

I’m voting yes.   They remembered that there were jelly beans on the table – and there is the broken window expense as well.  But… maybe the jelly beans were just missing?   The follow up report could reveal that her husband ate all the jelly beans and broke the window to cover up the incident.
