Hungry burglar leaves behind cash and dirty dishes

A burglar with an apparent appetite broke into a New Jersey sushi restaurant on Saturday, and made some time to cook up some rice and chicken before fleeing, police said. The thief got so caught up in satisfying his hunger, he didn't even touch the $200 sitting in the register.

According to Bergen County police, the modern-day chicken rustler pulled a bird out of the freezer in the Matsu Sushi Grill in Hillsdale and cooked it with rice in a frying pan.



Detectives say the thief entered through an exhaust fan in the back wall of the restaurant, cooked, and left the dirty dishes in the sink as well as the money in the register.

Police suspect that the person may have been homeless and in search of food. The break-in is similar to an incident last year at a local Kentucky Fried Chicken, when someone broke into the fast food restaurant, prepared a meal and left.
