MOULTRIE, Ga. — A Moultrie woman who let an acquaintance use her restroom on Wednesday was repaid by having the man steal hot dogs and eggs that he reportedly tried to sell on the street.

Charity Sneed told police that the man came to her residence at about 1:53 p.m. and she let him use her restroom. Later, Sneed realized that he must have taken four packs of hot dogs and 30 eggs out of the refrigerator and put them on her back porch, from which he picked them up later.
