A car thief in Detroit is apparently the only person on the planet that hasn’t watched CSI or else he’s always too high on crack to pay attention. Otherwise he would know that leaving your DNA at a crime scene is a bad idea.

Norman O. Wheeler, 40, was observed breaking into and stealing a car in a Detroit suburb. When the vehicle was recovered, a partially eaten cinnamon bun was found on the front seat and sent off to the Michigan State Police crime lab for DNA analysis.

Wheeler, was already a convicted felon so his DNA was on file and a match was made, leading to his arrest.

Here’s a tip I learned watching CSI. If you’re going to leave partially eaten food at a crime scene, be sure to douse it with bleach. Of course, I guess you could just eat it all or take it with you. D’oh!
