Trail of snacks, MySpace surfing lead to Hamilton burglary suspect

HAMILTON - Stephan Crane will probably never be a professional burglar.

The 19-year-old Hamilton man was arrested Tuesday morning following an early morning break-in to the Ravalli Republic.

Crane allegedly broke into the newsroom through a window and then watched some pornography on the computers he found inside. He also logged onto his MySpace and Facebook pages using his own name.

Somewhere along the way, the man doused the room with a fire extinguisher.

Following a short investigation, Hamilton police officers found Crane at his sister's apartment just across the hallway from the paper's newsroom.

The officers followed a trail of stolen trail mix and M&Ms to her door.

The article continues at the Missoulian's website, where you can read about Mr. Crane's incredible and nefarious motives, and further details of the Hamilton Police Department's efforts to catch Mr. Crane.

Unfortunately I am unable to find Mr. Crane's Facebook page.
