The mystery of the missing chocolate cake

A couple of days ago, I was outside working on the yard all morning. I thought Sam was upstairs
'playing tommy' or maybe watching TV. Well, I think he was most of the time... until he came down to the kitchen and decided he was hungry... Some neighbors brought us some chocolate cake the night before, and it was sitting on the counter, waiting for mommy to have some dessert after lunch. When I came inside, I found a chair pushed up to the counter, and a very suspicious looking scene and decided to do a little detective work to figure out... who... had... been... there....
I discovered chocolate crumbs on the floor, making a nice little trail.
I investigated further to find the saran wrap that once covered the victim.
The trail led me to find what remained of the helpless chocolate cake, and with more crumbs around too. Hmmm, who could it have been?
WHOA! I think we found the culprit... and feeling no guilt about it at all. In fact I think he was actually quite proud of himself.
