The idiom "leave a trail of breadcrumbs" refers to the act of providing hints or clues that guide someone to a desired outcome or destination. It is often used in contexts where one is trying to help someone navigate a complex situation or find their way back to a specific point. The phrase is derived from the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel, where the characters leave breadcrumbs to find their way home.

Well, in Hansel and Gretal, they left bread crumbs but unfortunately the birds ate it so I suggest small rocks or something easy to spot. Make sure it's not valuable or someone might take it. =]
