We know the fairy tale of Hop o' my Thumb who left a trail of pebbles to enable himself and his brothers to get back home (the trail of breadcrumbs did not work do well thanks to the birds..). Police in Nantes made use of the same idea when tracking three men who had stolen a 15 kg dish of paella from a supermarket. In their hurry to escape they did not notice the trail of rice they left behind. The police simply followed the trail to the the apartment, knocked on the door and invited themselves to join in the feast - which was still on the table. The men were arrested. What happened to the paella is not known.
