NOW THAT TAKES THE BISCUIT!
In Russia, a mugger stole the cake from a woman's bag as she walked by, then asked her to call the police so that he could go back to prison.
It was discovered that the mugger had just completed a 12 year sentence and wanted to return to jail. He stands to get three years for stealing the cake.
The report says that motive for the theft is unclear - it's obvious, jail food was better than the woman's cooking.
