Naked Man Breaks Into Restaurant, Eats Ramen, Plays Bongos

ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- During a recent review of surveillance video, staff at The Chattaway restaurant at 358 22nd Ave. S., in St. Petersburg were surprised to find a naked man chowing down on Ramen and playing the bongos.

According to St. Petersburg Police, police were dispatched to the restaurant to investigate a break-in on Nov. 6. But, while reviewing the restaurant's surveillance video for clues, police came across a more interesting clip from the previous night.

The video shows a man riding his bike up to the restaurant, circling the parking lot and then entering the property through a back gate. The man explores a storage shed and then gains access to a bathroom in the restaurant.

A few minutes later, he walks out of the bathroom sans clothing. The video shows him sitting naked at one of the restaurant's picnic tables, enjoying some Ramen noodles he brought with him.

He then spends more than an hour in the restaurant, playing the bongos, spray painting a few chairs and finding his way into the restaurant's kitchen where he helps himself to a plate of chicken wings and a beer.

Before leaving, he put everything back where he found it and left with about $500 worth of items including cash, a laptop, a tablet and a bag full of purloined beer.

On The Chattaway's Facebook page, the restaurant staff posted this good-natured request:

"Does anyone recognize this interesting dude? He made himself some soup, then he hung out in the back, broke into the garage area and, as you can see, got naked. And then he proceeded to put everything back and lock it up and leave before dawn."
