Burglar Breaks Into Home, Cooks Bacon

A bacon-eating, beer-guzzling burglar is on the loose in North Dakota.

Last week, a 30-year-old Bismarck woman told police that someone broke into her home, then cooked some of her bacon in the microwave, The Bismarck Tribune reported. Three cans of Bud Light were also missing from the residence. The break-in took place sometime between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday, when the resident returned home and noticed the distinct scent of cooked bacon lingering in the air.

It is unclear whether the suspect, if caught, will face additional charges for the unforgivable crime of cooking bacon in a microwave.

The delectable salty breakfast food has lured others to criminal activity in the past.

Last year, a Missouri man was sentenced to seven years in prison after breaking into a stranger's home and frying bacon in her kitchen, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

And in 2011, three teens broke into a store freezer in Indiana and made off with $90 worth of bacon.
