We're spilling the beans on a new trend emerging in Leeds, which has seen some young people swap out eggs for baked beans as part of a new prank.
According to officers, a new 'beaning' trend is emerging in the city - seeing local kids covering people’s houses and cars in baked beans.
In what some have described as ‘worrying’, some young people have apparently been caught throwing (or in some cases, delicately placing) the bright orange breakfast favourite on top of parked vehicles and local properties.
In response, police officers in Morley have now urged shop workers to be aware of "youths" buying "large quantities of cans of beans."
They have also told parents to be on the lookout for children "removing cans of beans from the family home."
Suffice to say, these kids need to learn to treat people like the human beans they really are.
It’s not just happening in Leeds, either. Further afield, a woman in Cumbria recently returned to her car to find that a can of beans had been gently laid on top of the bonnet in retribution for her supposedly 'blocking a gate.'
Whilst she was initially upset, with the benefit of Heinz-sight Emma also admitted that she found the beaning funny - despite complaining that it’s "also time I don’t have to waste cleaning them off my car."
Emma had left her car in a car park used by BAE Systems employees in Barrow, and came back to find not just beans but also an offensive note stuck to her vehicle
In this case, given the contents of the note, we don't think that local children can possibly be to blame - suggesting that perhaps the new police warning should also be extended to include irate adults, too.
The angry note read: "This is not a parking space. People need regular access to these back gates and you're stopping them!!! There is clearly signs on both gates indicating that access is needed and not to park near them.
"Do this again and we will contact BAE systems HR department and we will also go to the council.
"If you want a proper car parking space wake up earlier.”
On a serious note, we do realise that, just like 'egging', 'beaning' is technically an act of vandalism. Still, we can't help but wonder if it's all bean blown a bit out of proportion.

Jacob Elordi says the sexiest thing about Yorkshire is ‘rocks and sheep’
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
