Face (and Throwing the) Book
Two London, Ky., teenagers wanted to pull a prank to share on social media.

Confronted by workers, one of the pranksters profanely exclaimed that the cake was now his. Since it was just a $25-30 cake, the prank could have been prosecuted as misdemeanor theft, but officers charged felony burglary instead. “We’re really going to jail for this?” said one of the teenagers. “Stealing is stealing,” said Deputy Gilbert Acciardo.
