Let Me Just Lay Down For One Sec....

Police say a trail of pillows and backpacks led to two sleeping men who were arrested after a department store break-in. Kyle Burress, 25, and Allen Pierce, 27, have been charged with second-degree burglary.

Police spokeswoman Debbie Willis says a break-in was discovered July 9 at a Fred Meyer department store northeast of Seattle. The two were still being held on bail Monday, and it was not clear whether they had lawyers.

Willis says police followed a trail of cardboard and items from storage containers in a locked area behind the store that led to the two men. One was sleeping in a stolen hammock and the other on a pile of stolen pillows.

Police photographed the men before waking and arresting them.

In this photo released by the Monroe Police Department, burglary suspect Allen Pierce is seen sleeping on a hammock bed allegedly stolen from storage containers at a nearby department store July 9, 2008, in Monroe, Wash.

Willis says alcohol was involved.
