#1 Still intact was the entire load of glazed, sugar and cream doughnuts, as well as apple fritters, bear claws.

#2 After Steve gets out of intensive care and can eat through a straw after being severely beaten, he will be transported to a maximum security penitentiary for the rest of his natural life plus 10 years for good measure. "Had he been stupid enough to have stolen a Krispy Kreme delivery truck it would have been worse. Far worse." said the Captain.

#3 From what I heard, cops prefer healthier food than do-nuts. It has been a long time since I saw a cop eating one.

#4 I'm hearing the Bangles in my head.

If you want to find all the cops,
They're hanging out in the donut shop.
They sing and dance (Oh-Way-Oh)
They spin their clock and cruise on down the block . . .

All the cops in the donut shops
say:Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...
Walk like an Egyptian

#5 From what I heard, cops prefer healthier food than do-nuts. It has been a long time since I saw a cop eating one.

I remember when they opened a Krispy Kreme donut shop in my area. For over a month it seemed the police had traffic all re-routed to "reduce congestion" in the area. There were always about three patrol cars out front with their lights on. I don't think it was the least bit necessary. I'll bet KK was just doing a bit of advertising via the local police department! But it's true, even then I didn't see any of the police standing around eating a donut! :-)

ALBUQUERQUE (Reuters) - An Albuquerque policeman and his pilot face
disciplinary measures after using a police helicopter this week to
swoop in for a midnight snack of doughnuts, officials said on Friday.

The officer and the civilian pilot were on night patrol over the city
in a Kiowa OH-58 helicopter when they landed in a vacant lot next to a
Krispy Kreme doughnut store around 1 a.m. on Thursday morning.

``The contracted pilot and a police officer landed the copter early in
the morning, ran in and grabbed a dozen, came back out and took off,''
Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Brian McCutcheon said.

``I don't know whose brain child it was, but it's quite an ugly
child,'' he said.

McCutcheon said the event was being investigated as a possible misuse
of city funds as well as for safety reasons, although he added there
was no specific protocol for this case because it had ever happened
before.

``We've been given no reasonable excuse as to why they would even
think they could do this. But there could be some very serious
ramifications,'' he said.

An eyewitness told the Albuquerque Journal that he saw the APD
helicopter circle the Krispy Kreme and land in a nearby dirt field.

``I was angry, and I'm still kind of angry. That's my tax dollars,
your tax dollars. You've got no business flying in to get doughnuts,''
said Keith Turner, who works nearby and was taking a smoke break when
he saw the chopper swoop in,

The cost to the department of running a Kiowa, including fuel and
maintenance, is $80 an hour, McCutcheon said.

A Krispy Kreme employee who asked not to be identified said he didn't
see why people were making a big deal of the unusual doughnut run.

``Cops got to eat, too,'' he said

#10 Sounds reasonable - mistake was not to use the bathroom there. They could of claimed an emergency need to visit said bathroom.
