Smashing the front window of a store might sound like an ingenious way to get into a closed business, in reality it is stupid and likely to accomplish nothing. Take this thief in the below video, for example.
His crime spree started on June 25,2023 at 3:37 AM. He went to a shopping center at 701 W. Lehigh Avenue. Obviously, all the stores were closed but the security cameras were working. So the thief grabs a rock and smashed the window of two businesses and a bank. The Little Caesar’s Pizza, and Burger King.windows were smashed. As was a TD Bank.
This thief must have been excited as he approached the cash registers. However, business owners are smart, they don’t leave cash in the registers and he got nothing. Even the bank locked away their cash. The only thing this thief got was three felonies and his photo in the paper.
This guy is not smart enough to wear gloves. His fingerprints are all over the banks and the stores.
