MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. (AP) — Police who caught three teenagers orange-handed with 48 stolen pumpkins — and one gourd — asked residents of a St. Louis suburb to view a "pumpkin lineup" online to see if their Halloween squash are among those recovered.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that pumpkins began vanishing last week from subdivisions of Maryland Heights. Police quickly tracked down the boys and their pumpkin-crammed SUV that Capt. Scott Will says was "top-to-bottom orange."
The next day, officers snapped a picture of the abducted decor and posted it to Facebook.
Will said police have been "inundated" with people coming to track down their Halloween pumpkins.
