Meanwhile in Pittsburgh . . .

This dude named Bryan Eleam (59) busted his way into a Pittsburgh hair salon around 3:30 AM the other day and stole some cash from the register and took off.

When authorities arrived on the scene, Bryan was already gone; but, police didn’t have to look too far for a lead when they noticed a trail of coins along the side of the building.

They followed the trail all the way to an abandoned building — where they found Bryan inside.

Turns out, dude totally Hansel and Gretel’d himself!

Bryan is now facing charges on burglary.
