Is this even a crime?

With pumpkins selling for around 29 cents a pound the item below, in which an unknown person or persons left a circle of 30 pumpkins in the back yard of someone, sounds like an unlikely and expensive prank.  

Mystery of the 30 Pumpkins

The thing to do would be to see if any farmers had recently had a large number of pumpkins had been stolen, that would then put things more in the realm prankster territory.

If that’s the case, you have to at least give whoever did it credit for not just busting them up and leaving remains on the road for someone else to clean up, which would be the usual action of say drunken punks on a spree.

The circle I would say shows something of the psychology of those who did it.

As for the doughnuts…. Shrugs.
