Man Breaks Into Restaurant - Makes Pizza Before Fleeing

<snip>

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa --A burglar who kicked in the back door of a restaurant must have worked up an appetite. Police said the person who broke into the Garden Place overnight Monday baked themselves a sausage and beef pizza before they left.

"I got to work, and I noticed my pizza oven was on," said Darryl Rundell, the restaurant's owner. "My back door was busted. I came back to the kitchen, and I saw dirty dishes in my sink. We had cleaned up the night before, and there were no dishes in the sink."

On the dirty pizza pans he found sausage and beef.

He also discovered that buns, pizza crusts and sauce, hot dogs, beef and Italian sausage, sandwich meats and about eight pounds of cheese had been taken.

The restaurant, which opened Dec. 7, has had three break-ins, Rundell said.

He said the first break-in was on Dec. 8, and in that case the intruder also made a pizza. The second break-in, on Christmas Eve, resulted in the theft of seven cases of muffins, he said.

"My menu has reasonable prices," Rundell said. "With my prices, they shouldn't steal them."

In our 'society', you have to buy (and use) a proper alarm system.

In a real society, stealing wouldn't be an issue. Nor would money.

His prices can be lower than walmart's as far as I'm concerned. With jobs scarce and more people hungry, these sorts of incidents are going to get worse. It's a simple enough logic, don't people take the time to THINK anymore? (obviously not when they won't get an alarm system... :think: )

Dirty dishes in the sink.
