A Minnesota man couldn't quite make a clean getaway after a year-long stealing spree in which he lifted more than $25,000 worth of detergent from a supermarket near his home.
Patrick Paul Costanzo snuck the suds out of the store a few bottles at a time, stockpiling enough Tide to do more than 80,000 loads of laundry in the process. He was finally arrested last week after police examined security tape that showed him stealing the detergent four or five days a week for the entire month of January and the first week in February.
Sounds like he's in hot water -- unless his lawyer can spin things favorably.
