When a back door of ASUM Child Care was found open in the morning, it appeared somebody had gotten in and stolen a $50 CD player. Several packages of Oreos were taken from the snack cabinet and partially eaten. A half-empty can of whipped cream was found at the scene, but it didn’t belong to the child care service.
“The suspect brought his own Cool Whip to dip his Oreos in,” Taylor said.
