Dirty Rat Uses Dirty Restroom Ruse to Steal Cigars, Children's Hospital Charity Box

A heartless thief tricked a gas station clerk into leaving the counter long enough for him to steal cigars and a charity donation box for Children’s Hospital.

The treacherous snake struck at the Circle K Gas Station on 143rd Street in Homer Glen. He complained to the clerk that the restroom was dirty and needed to be looked at.

While the clerk was away, the crook snatched four packs of Talon Cigars and the donation box.

The police released no description of the thief, other than that he is male.
