When a San Fernando business owner discovered his restaurant had been broken into twice this week, he found another surprise inside the burglarized eatery: an apology from the thief.
Teriyaki Madness on Truman Street had been burglarized Tuesday and Thursday; security cameras filmed the thief walking through a broken window and making a beeline for the cash register, according to KTLA-TV.
The thief left behind a note that read: “Sorry! Need $ for drugs, not coming back.”
In the same mall, a nearby business, San Fernando Coffee Co., was also burglarized this week, according to one note that the owner posted on social media.
A cash register was stolen, preventing employees from completing any online orders until the equipment was replaced.
“We hope for more patrols in the area,” the company wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday. “Thank God we were able to resolve everything and we are back on track.”
The San Fernando Police Department and Teriyaki Madness did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
