Toddler Twins Go on Rampage, Shed Clothes (http://reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=2622473)
Two three-year-old twin boys who disappeared from home then reappeared hours later without their clothes had been off wreaking havoc in a neighbor's empty house, French newspapers reported on Thursday.
Police initially feared an abduction by a pedophile when the missing boys were discovered late in the evening walking through their home town of Deols, western France, stark naked and holding a bedside lamp.
But a call from a neighbor to report a suspected burglary revealed the boys had broken into a nearby house and gone berserk, emptying out drawers, bouncing on beds, scribbling on walls and gobbling up orange-flavored vitamin pills.
The twins discarded their clothes after getting covered in shampoo and toothpaste after a rampage through the bathroom, squeezing out bottles and tubes.
They grabbed a bedside light and took it away with them thinking it would help them find their way home in the dark.
The boys' parents will compensate the house owners, daily Liberation said. It did not say how they would punish the twins.
