Enterprising vandals hurl melon filled with SpaghettiOs
- Police said there was no damage, just quite a mess on the Warrington Twp. woman's porch
- More than a year ago, vandals hurled whoopie pies at the woman's porch, police said
A Warrington Township woman's vandalized front porch likely resembled the aftermath of a Gallagher performance at an all-you-can-eat spaghetti fest.
State police said that overnight Monday, mischief-makers struck at the Old York Road home of a 47-year-old woman.
They threw a small watermelon at her front-door steps, smashing it — but it was no regular watermelon, according to Trooper Rob Hicks, a state police spokesman.
The melon was stuffed with SpaghettiOs, police said, and left quite a mess on her porch.

The prank is a bit more imaginative than the last time vandals left their mark on her home.
"Somebody threw whoopie pies at her front porch over a year ago," Hicks said.
He said police don't believe this week's mischief is related to the whoopie-pie affair and described it as random and isolated.
The woman's porch wasn't damaged, Hicks said, and there are no suspects, "just a mess."
The motive is unknown, he said.
Asked for details on the fruit/pasta mashup, Hicks said vandals likely partially hollowed out the small melon, then poured in the SpaghettiOs.
