The butt crack bandit
It was bad enough that some yahoo figured he could save a few bucks by yanking cheap plants from a restaurant’s outdoor planters and taking them home in a wheelbarrow. But he made sure the heist would be the, um, butt of jokes by letting his pants slide down to an embarrassing level as he made off with his heist of coleus and impatiens.
Now Cotta’s Kitchen in Turlock, Calif., is known as a victim of what’s been dubbed the butt crack bandit.
He was caught on exterior cameras wheeling away his take, sans shirt and much covering of his posterior.
The Einstein then returns to camera range, wearing a shirt this time.
The restaurant has been a good sport about the dopiness, calling it “landscape larceny” and pointing out that it’s been a victim before. Management acknowledged the irony that a wheelbarrow was one of the items that was previously swiped.
