Wisconsin police have a new detective on their hands: four-year-old Abby Dean.
Dean was at her family's home with a 17-year-old babysitter when a pair of burglars entered the house. The two men took an iPod, Wii, Xbox, and Dean's bank.
SFGate reports that the babysitter told police the burglars were black and resembled Dean's next-door neighbors. But when the police spoke to Dean, she told them that the burglars were, in fact, white.

After Dean's revelation, the babysitter eventually confessed that the crooks were her 16-year-old boyfriend and his friend. The items, including Dean's bank, were returned to the home.
'That was really her being bad," Dean told a local Fox outlet. "She's not a good babysitter."
