LONDON (AP) — A man who prosecutors said broke into a U.K. industrial park to steal almost 200,000 chocolate Easter eggs has pleaded guilty to theft and criminal damage.

Prosecutors said Tuesday that Joby Pool, 32, used a metal grinder to break through a gate at an industrial park in Telford, central England, on Saturday, then used a stolen semi truck to tow away a trailer loaded with Cadbury Creme Eggs and other chocolate goods worth more than 31,000 pounds ($38,000).

3. Who here hasn't stolen truckloads of those?

I mean those of us who didn't end up in a diabetic coma.

Really, some things aren't a crime!

Or they're filling a huge number of Easter baskets.

5. I use to buy a package each Easter season,

I would eat one and give away the rest.


It never occurred to me to steal tons of Cadbury Creme Eggs.
