Brothers John and Matthew Farrer are only two and three years old, but they've already been accused of breaking and entering.
The Anderson, South Carolina toddlers wandered away from their home on Friday morning, but they didn't go far. While their parents and emergency workers searched frantically for the young boys,
the tots were busy having a ball next door -- ransacking neighbor Angie Lovorn's house. "They played for a while, I think," Lovorn tells a local television station.
The pajama-wearing boys raided the kitchen, snacking on goodies like Teddy Grahams and marshmallows, and even climbed a bunk bed to find some stuffed animals to play with. Lovorn, who works third shift, was sleeping at the other end of the house. "I would have right away looked through my house if I'd known they were missing," Lovorn says. She woke up just as searchers finally saw the boys leaving through a back door, one wearing her son's Clemson University football helmet.
The boys were returned to their parents, who, while relieved, are probably wondering, "If this is what they're like when they're two, what are they going to do when they're 20?"
My husband stood in our daughters' bedroom today and said, "They couldn't have made a bigger mess if they tried." Then I took him downstairs and showed him
pictures of what the Farrer boys did, and he felt a little better.

Teen Arrested for Farting at School
Flatulent teens, take note: If you pass gas in class, you may be apprehended by police. At least that's what happened to one Florida teen who eeked out a couple of nasty toots before being hauled away by law enforcement.

Arrested for Serving Salt
This sounds ridiculous -- at first. But when this 16-year-old seasoned mom's dinner with salt, it might as well have been poison. Her mother has a number of food allergies, and would've died had no one been there to inject her medication.

Racy Prom Dress Gets Teen Arrested
You say potato, I say poh-tah-to. She said "prom dress," school officials said "thin strips of fabric that barely cover your nipples." This young woman's dress left so little to the imagination that she was picked up by police!

7-Year-Old Nearly Locked Up for Riding Dirt Bike
After alleging that the young man had ridden his dirt bike on the sidewalk, police handcuffed the boy and took him down to the station -- where they took his fingerprints and mugshot. Best of all, apparently the bike wasn't even turned on when cops yanked the kid off of it. Smooth guys, real smooth.

Cops Break Teen's Arm in Arrest Over Dropped Cake
This 16-year-old dropped some cake during lunch and did an average job cleaning up the mess. For some cops took the teen's lackluster approach to cleanliness as justification for arresting her -- and breaking her arm in the process.

10-Year-Old Cuts Her Sandwich With a Knife...and Breaks the Law?
The rules for splitting sandwiches are apparently more rigid than you might think. At least that's the case in one Florida school where a "no tolerance" policy led to felony weapons charges against a 7th grader who was just trying to eat her lunch.

Teen Arrested for Creative Writing Assignment
The teacher encouraged this straight-A student to reveal his emotions on paper -- so he did. And then he got kicked out of school and arrested for "disorderly conduct." So the lesson is...never follow your teacher's instructions?
