From Hold My Drink And Watch This this morning a burglar named Andrew Connor made it entirely too easy to be caught. He kicked over a paint bucket, stepped in the paint and left a trail right back to his house.

 

From the BBC:

Det Con Darren Cresswell said: "Some offences of burglary are more challenging to solve than others, in this case the offender really put his foot in it and left some very obvious clues.

"His house was only a short distance from the shop and the footwear impressions led us easily to where he had hidden the stolen property
