Police are asking for the public’s help in apprehending the “Butt Crack Bandit” – who was captured on surveillance video stealing plants from outside a restaurant on Sunday night using a wheelbarrow. California is a hell of a state.
Via the Sacramento Bee:
The theft was captured on the restaurant’s security cameras, the thief rolling his wheelbarrow onto the porch at 833 E. Main St. just before 10 p.m. Wednesday. The shirtless man bends slightly to set down the wheelbarrow, exposing the top of his posterior and earning him the name “butt crack bandit” from owner Angela Cotta.
However, the bandit then leaves, maybe to retrieve a shirt because he is wearing one upon his return 15 minutes later. He can be seen talking on a cellphone while he paces in front of the business.
You can see the Buttcrack Bandit in action here:
“This guy’s got to live darn close if he’s toting around a wheelbarrow,” Cotta wrote in a Facebook post about the incident. “Or maybe he has a nighttime landscaping service where he pillages then (sic) plants.”
Police are now searching for the man who may be anywhere…well, except maybe the belt section of his local clothing store.
