This four-year-old detective solved a burglary at her house

You can't prove the wool over little Abby Dean's eyes. So don't even try.

You can't pull the wool over little Abby Dean's eyes. So don't even try.

The four-year-old was at home with her babysitter in Washington, Wisconsin when two teenagers broke into the house and stole an Xbox, Wii, iPod, and her piggy bank. Who steals a four-year-old's piggy bank? How much could she possibly have in there?

When the police arrived, the babysitter told them that the culprits were both black, armed and looked like Abby's next-door neighbours. The police then arrested neighbour Cody Oaks - who as it turns out was innocent.

When police checked in with Abby, she was adamant that the burglars were, in fact, white. The babysitter eventually owned up - as it turned out, she had orchestrated the whole thing with her 16-year-old boyfriend and his friend. Oaks was released and the stolen goods returned to the little girl.

Abby wryly summed up the situation, telling Fox News:

"That was really her being bad. She's not a good babysitter."

Damn straight, Abby. Well done.
