Making a clean getaway from a crime is a fairly important step in successfully committing said crime. What's the best way to not make a clean getaway? How about leaving a trail of stolen Cheetos all the way to your front door from the crime scene.

According to FOX Carolina, police received a call from a store where someone had shattered the glass door and stolen beer, cigarettes, energy drinks and some snacks.

Here's where our crook got stupid. He "accidentally" tore open a bag of Cheetos that he was stealing and ended up leaving a Hansel & Gretel-esque trail of cheese puffs that police followed all the way back to his house.

I think he was caught orange-handed.
