Pastry pranksters leave cops with sticky mystery

Sweet little mystery: Why are they doing this? Why?

They come in the night and vandalise the town with doughnuts, cakes, and even potato salad – but nobody knows who they are.

Police in a Portland suburb have a sticky situation on their hands: for more than a month, mysterious vandals have been smearing pastries on cars, depositing doughnuts in lawns and leaving cakes strewn about the streets. According to Hillsboro police, the baked-goods bandits first struck on June 1, smearing a maple bar across a car wind-shield.
