You Say Potatoe, I Say Potato

You have to be pretty hungry (or just off a year long Atkins Diet) to steal a tractor trailer full of potatoes.  A carb hungry crook in Germany jumped behind the wheel of a semi truck that was hauling 13 tons of spuds and tried to make his getaway.  One problem, he forgot to close the back door.
It was a "half-baked" attempt (har-har)

 The coppers had an easy time following him since he left a trail of taters behind him.  After crashing the truck from a burst tire, the man hoofed it on foot.  I guess everyone in the area will be enjoying mashed potatoes for dinner tonight.  

P.S. The majority of the 5 a.m. readers slept in today and didn't read my blog until 6 a.m.  Must have been a late night.
