Maybe crime could wait until Spring...

Sometimes solving a crime is elementary. Three brain-trust youths who didn't have to attend school on MLK, Jr Day were bored and decided to spice up their night by sneaking out of the house in the wee hours and "car-hopping" - going through the neighborhood looking for cars and SUVs that have been left unlocked and rifling through the contents. One car owner discovered the break-in in the morning and called police who followed tracks left in the snow by the three dumbasses, er, teenagers which led them directly to a home on Conan Doyle Drive where the boys had been having a sleepover. The Naperville Sun reports the wayward youth pocketed some chewing gum and less than $20 in loose change in their rampage. Not to mention being grounded until they turn 18. The youths have been turned over to the Naperville Police Department juvenile division.
