Watch out for spoilers, Breaking Badfans! One of the show's scripts was allegedly stolen from Bryan Cranston's car late last year.
According to a criminal complaint filed by Cranston on March 1 and obtained by ABCNews.com, a thief broke into Cranston's passenger-side window and stole a shoulder bag containing an iPad and a Breaking Bad script on Dec. 20. New Mexico's Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office arrested suspect Xavier McAfee on Saturday on suspicion of burglary, but the script has yet to be recovered.

TV Scorecard: What's canceled?

Per the complaint, one of Cranston's employees, Taryn Feingold, was contacted by a confidential informant who overheard a man bragging about committing the crime at a local bar. The informant then relayed the information to the police, leading to McAfee's arrest.

Charles Baker, who plays Skinny Pete on the AMC series, hopes the culprit will return the script without further incident. "You have the choice to be a better person than that," he told TMZ. "You've already made a choice to steal from a person who is loved by millions of people. ... Don't make it worse by betraying the rest of the cast and crew and fellow fans of the show."
Part 2 of Breaking Bad's fifth and final season will premiere this summer.
