Fayetteville police spokesman Dan Grubb said Friday the pair left one note on a white paper napkin saying simply, "Thanks." Grubb said a second message etched into a wall Wednesday morning said the same thing, and added: "We love the stuff we got."

Police charged Dajuan Marquis Avant and Darrell Sturdivant Jr. with breaking and entering, larceny, and other charges. Both 19-year-olds are from Fayetteville. It was not known if either had an attorney. The homeowners told The Fayetteville Observer the stolen loot included a box of corn dogs and frozen chicken.
