It's the Hamburglar gone wild!
Two naked college-age men, and a third who was wearing his underwear, were caught on surveillance footage breaking into a Florida restaurant Sunday, stealing 60 hamburgers, NewsPress.com reports.
"Dumb, dumber and dumbest," waitress Nancy Sansevieri of Doc's Beach House in Daytona, Fla., told the newspaper Wednesday.
The unknown hamburglars are still at large and local authorities say they're not sure if the nearly-naked dudes are residents of Southwest Florida or tourists. Police released the steamy photos of the suspects this week in hopes the public will recognize them.
The three men stole 60 hamburgers, three pounds of bacon, three red peppers and a paddleboard from Doc's Beach House around 3 a.m. Sunday. But the trio wasn't the brightest at covering up their crime - or they didn't really care.
The restaurant's surveillance caught the men and there are now 200 frame-by-frame photos of the suspects. In addition, Doc's Beach House's staff found a trail of red peppers about 100 yards away from the eatery near a beach bathhouse.
"They left a trail like Hansel and Gretel," Doc's waitress Shelly Isom told NewsPress.com. "One of them probably said after, 'Uh, guys, where did we leave our clothes?'"
According to the images released by Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers and Bonita Jet Ski and Parasail, a partner of Doc's, the men are athletically built and two are naked while a third is wearing white underwear. A number of the pictures show the suspects looking at a security camera and at one point one of them tries to turn it off, unaware there is another camera nearby. Two of them covered their face and genitals after seeing the camera.
Doc's general manager and vice president Lou Bangert said he's never seen a crime like this in the 27-years the restaurant has been open. He said criminals have broken in and stolen money, but none of them have been beefy hunks looking to steal beef.
According to News Press, the men never entered the front part of Doc's to steal money. The suspects were in the kitchen area and took the food from three coolers. Bangert said the men were in and out of the kitchen in five-minutes - they weren't messing around.
"When I saw the security footage, I said how is this guy not wearing any clothes?" he asked. "Then I said, 'Wait, it's not just one. There's three naked. That's what makes this funny."
Bonita Jet Ski's manager Kevin Nobis posted the photos to his company's Facebook page.
"I laughed a little bit when I saw the pictures," he said. "I'm just glad they didn't do more. Luckily, it was just minimal. I just think it was college-age kids who may have been drinking. The guys look like they are in good shape. They look like athletes. But it's hard to tell if they are tourists or locals."
