Meatball thieves' recipe for success? Wait for driver to doze

(CBS/AP) PHILADELPHIA - There are some "hot" frozen meatballs missing in Philadelphia.

Police are trying to find the thieves who swiped 17 cases of frozen of meatballs from the back of a delivery truck.

Authorities say two men broke into a trailer while the driver was asleep early Monday.

WPVI-TV reports the men took off in a van when another driver pulled into the lot.  Local station NBC 10 reports the stolen meatballs weighed more than 500 pounds. 

They're probably on the prowl now for a whole lotta pasta.
