Lunch Stolen From Tokyo Steakhouse Employee By Beer-Drinking Man

TINLEY PARK, IL — An employee of the Tokyo Steakhouse at 9436 W. 179th St. in Tinley Park had his lunch stolen during a shift earlier this month.

Tinley Park police were called to the restaurant at 3:37 p.m. on Feb. 1 and were told that a man came in, drank one beer and then left with the victim's lunch, according to a police report. A surveillance video confirmed this version of events, according to police.

The victim told police he did not know the name of the man who stole his lunch, but did say he has been to the restaurant multiple times before and "is always highly intoxicated and causes problems."

The lunch thief is described as a white or Latino man in his mid 30's, about 5 feet 8 inches and 220 pounds with a dark goatee. He was wearing a dark gray jacket with a hoodie, a black t-shirt, light gray sweater and black and white gym shoes at the time of the theft, the police report says.
