Burglar broke into restaurant, ate 12 bananas, peed in a bin and then fell asleep.
You’ve heard of people robbing jewellery stores, banks and sometimes even supermarkets.But have you ever heard of someone robbing a salad restaurant – and stealing a dozen bananas, 10 bags of crisps and a handful of muffins?
Well you have now.
Owners of The Sexy Salad in Hauppauge, Long Island, were horrified to discover they had been broken in to on Saturday morning.
However, when they looked at CCTV footage, they say they couldn’t help but laugh when they saw that the thief looked like a drunk (or high) man with the munchies.
And he didn’t even make it his priority to flee the scene.
Instead, after chowing down on a number of snacks including raspberry pecan bars, the hooded man urinated in the bin and lay on the floor for a nap.
He did however manage to get out before the owner’s turned up the next morning – leaving behind his driver’s licence, and a watch.
Speaking to ABC7, owner John Robertson,said: ‘If you’re gonna be broken into, you might as well get a good laugh out of it.
‘This guy was hysterical, I’ve never seen somebody so drunk and appreciative of bananas.
‘I think we counted 11 bananas, 9 or 10 bags of potato chips and I don’t know how many raspberry or pecan bars and muffins.’
The next day, the suspect – who turned out to be a 19-year-old – returned to the restaurant with his mum.
He claimed he had been so worried about what he had done, he hadn’t slept all night (apart from the short nap on the floor).
Robertson accepted the teen’s apology and decided not to press charges.
