QUIRKY WORLD: Officer bails out mum who stole items for child’s cake

USA: A New Hampshire police officer paid the thief’s tab after learning the culprit stole the items from a store to bake her child’s birthday cake.

Officer Michael Kotsonis, 19, responded to a call last week at the Ocean State Job Lots after a woman had stolen cake mix, shortening and “a couple things of frosting,” the Portsmouth Herald reported.

After learning the woman’s identity, Kotsonis went to her home to recover the items. It was there that he found that the woman was a mother who wanted to bake her child a birthday cake.
