Newark Teen Accused of Breaking into Home to Steal Condoms

File this under, “You know times are tough when …”

A Newark area teen has been arrested for breaking into a home and steeling condoms.

On Thursday, New Castle County Police responded to a report of a burglary in progress. When the officers arrived, they were instructed by at least two witnesses who observed a male lurking around a neighboring home.

I don’t know which is more disturbing, that a teenager broke into someone’s house to steal condoms, or that that Newark Post spelled the word “stealing” as “steeling.”

One of the police officers involved made a statement, saying, “If only the kid had gone to CondomMan.com, he would have gotten condoms for virtually free, instead of having to steal them out of neighbor’s houses.”

Not really, but it would have been cool if he had.
