The Huntsville whodonut -- tons of sugar swiped from shop

It was a pretty sweet day at work for cops in Huntsville on Sunday, but that's not necessarily a good thing.

You see, these lawmen were working to solve a confection caper of sorts.

The Huntsville Item reports that someone - I'm looking at YOU, random pack of sticky-fingered hyperactive kindergarteners - ran off with two tons of powdered sugar from a local donut shop.

D'oh!

Police said when the owners of Donut Wheel rolled up to their workplace that morning, they were greeted by piles and trails of powdered sugar scattered all over the place.

They soon discovered that about $1,400 worth of the sweet stuff was missing from their storage area.

Thankfully, police were quickly on the case.

** Insert the obligatory cop-donut joke here**

But what would someone want with two tons of sugar?

That's where things get really weird.

Police said the latest heist was, in fact, the third burglary at Donut Wheel.

The first time, cops say the culprits ran off with shortening and flour. The second time, they took shortening, yeast and an air conditioning unit.

But police said nothing compared in scale to the sugar swiping.

Hmmmm ... Maybe they're going to return it all in the form of a nice, big, refrigerated cake.

Then again, maybe not.

Sounds like a real whodonut to me. (Ba dum dum)

Sounds like a college kid prank to me. After all, SHSU is just down the street.

hmmm...
Me thinks we should be looking forward to a donut for the record books.

And, "Fair on the Square" in Huntsville is just a few weeks away, with Halloween coming right behind.

It'll still be hotfor a while longer. We're in Texas and it's only September. They could use the sun to bake it... don't think anybody has a fryer or an oven quite that big. LOL
