The last thing you should probably steal

It's amazing what a good job the cops can do when they're properly motivated:

A stolen truck full of doughnuts? Better believe Tri-Cities police were on that in a hurry. Moments after the theft of the Viera's Bakery van was reported early Friday in Kennewick [Washington], police issued an all-points bulletin.

A Benton County sheriff's deputy quickly spotted the truck. After a chase at 30 to 35 mph, Richland police got it to stop and arrested the driver, Steve Swoboda, 19, for investigation of auto theft and felony escape.

Still intact was the entire load of glazed, sugar and cream doughnuts, as well as apple fritters, bear claws.

You know, at this point, it really doesn't seem necessary for me to write a joke about this incident. Police officers, as has been well documented, have a strong affinity for doughnuts. A doughnut-related crime occurs, and the cops are right on top of it. Ha ha. Frankly, I feel cheaper for having pointed it out.
