Something to taco âbout: Burglar makes food, takes nap

When committing a crime, the point is to avoid suspicion. So why did one burglar from Georgia decide to make himself at home at the Taco Bell he robbed? After breaking into the restaurant on Christmas Day, the young man got to work making himself food using the restaurantâs fryers. Then, after filling up, he took a nap on the floor! Finally, three hours later, he grabbed a laptop and tablet and went on his way. Unfortunately for him, every minute of his holiday feast and snooze was caught on tape. The police turned to social media to help identify the comfortable criminal. Will he be caught? Or will this just be another case that gets slept on?

Maybe the restaurant should have installed this ultra-tough glass to foil his crime.
