JOLIET, Ill. - Robbers might think twice about committing a crime when there's snow on the ground. Or at least not head right home.

Police say two teens waited on a porch for the pizza man and the two others, one holding a bat, approached him.

Police Chief Patrick Kerr said the pizza man turned over pizzas, sodas and $200.

Police said an officer followed the tracks to the house and found two pizza boxes, the pizza man's debit card and a baseball bat.
