Slidell Police posted to social media a report they say '"takes the cake"... literally!'
Detectives say a man who appears to be an Amazon delivery driver opened a garage fridge and stole a birthday cake.
"This is undoubtedly one of the more unusual cases we’ve seen, and while it may sound like a punchline, cake theft is still a crime," SPD posted. "The cake was meant for a Sweet 16 party for the homeowner's daughter. Instead, the celebration was put on pause as the family discovered their cake had gone missing - and watched in disbelief as the security video revealed it had gone mobile."
Cops are asking for the public's help in identifying and finding the sweet tooth bandit.
"We’re not sure if Jeff Bezos offers same-day refunds for stolen birthday cakes, but we hope to deliver justice just as fast."
Many replies to the post question how hard it is to find the suspect, given he was driving an Amazon van and wearing and Amazon uniform.
Slidell police said, "Investigators are working closely with Amazon to identify the driver, but we’re also asking for the public’s help in identifying this cake crook."
Detectives say they driver did drop off a package at the home too.
