B.U.S.T.E.D.

CORRY, PENNSYLVANIA -- A man charged with stealing beer was caught by the very cans he stole.

Frank Martin, the owner of Alibi Bar, knew someone had been stealing beer, so he took two six-packs and wrote "BUSTED" on the bottoms of the cans, one letter per can.

Mr. Martin suspected that it was an inside job because no one appeared to be breaking in.

Then, police called on a man who used to work at the bar, and checked his recycling bin. Sure enough, 10 of the marked cans were inside.
