Teens Dine and Dash Out of Brockton Restaurant
The owner said she more upset that the teens didn't admit to not having enough money.

BROCKTON, MA — A Brockton restaurant owner isn't mad that three teens ran out on their $30 tab. She's more upset that they didn't tell her that they didn't have enough money because she would have given them the meal for free.
Heidi's Place owner Maggie Kosmidis told the Enterprise that it wouldn't have been a problem if the kids just said something. Word about the kids came out over the weekend when Kosmidis' son, Alex Kosmidis posted images of the kids on the Brockton Hub group on Facebook.
"If anyone knows these kids let them know that the cops are looking for them. They just left Heidi's Place without paying their whole bill. They left a couple dollars pretending like they paid in full. People seriously all us small businesses have cameras and you know your parents are on the Brockton Hub. I will shame you for acting like a criminal," he wrote.
