Could these guys have picked a worse day to do this?
The Seattle area had its snowiest day in 50 years this weekend. Around nine inches fell on Saturday.
Meanwhile, two knuckleheads decided to break into a house in Tacoma, about 30 miles south. And they were still there when police showed up.
They tried to run. But instead of chasing them, the cops just took their time . . . and followed their footprints in the snow.
They tracked one guy to a church parking lot and found him hiding in a dumpster. And the other guy was hiding in a tree.
They're both facing charges for second-degree burglary. And the guy in the dumpster also had narcotics on him.
