Burglar Robs Restaurant, and Cooks Himself a Meal

abc news 7

A guy broke into a Mexican restaurant in Hicksville, New York, on Long Island, around 2:00 A.M. on Tuesday.  He smashed the cash register and stole about $100.  But that might not have been why he was there. After the alleged robber grabbed the cash, he took about 45 minutes and cooked himself a meal.

The owner says the surveillance camera shows him putting on gloves, picking ingredients out of the fridge, cooking up some beans, chicken, shrimp and then sitting down to enjoy what he made.

The owner went on to say he did a great job.  Quote, “He would change gloves frequently after handling food and then handling another object . . . he was working the pot like a pro, sifting the food, making sure it was heated evenly.”

And after he was done, he did the dishes, dried them, wiped down all the cooking surfaces, and left a dollar in the tip jar. The cops are trying to track him down.  And the owner says that he probably would’ve hired the guy if he wasn’t a thief.
