Wienerschnitzel ATM Burglary: Napkin Falls, Revealing Suspect's Face In Surveillance Video (VIDEO)

First Posted: 11/29/11 02:33 PM ET Updated: 11/30/11 11:21 AM ET

One burglar's attempt to cover up a surveillance video with fast food napkins resulted in him staring close-up into the camera, giving police a clear shot of his face.

As MSNBC reports, on November 22, 2011, at about 2:15 a.m., two men broke into a Wienerschnitzel fast food restaurant in Anaheim. They entered through the drive-in window and covered the surveillance video with napkins and fast food sticker labels. The suspects proceeded to use a pallet jack to take the store's ATM machine, which contained about two thousand dollars, and transport it to a possible waiting vehicle.

However, at one point during the robbery, a napkin fell from one of the surveillance cameras. When one of the suspects replaced the napkin, his cover-up foiled and the camera caught a straight-on image of his face.

According to CBS, the photographed suspect is described as 1) "a black male, 5'7", medium build with black hair and mustache.. seen wearing all-black clothing including gloves and a Dickies baseball cap." The second suspect is described as "a black male, also 5'7", medium build, all-black clothing and gloves."

Police are asking anyone with information about either suspect to call Detective Chris Cooper at (714) 765-1185.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this story stated that the restaurant was located in Santa Ana, CA. It is located in Anaheim, CA.

Another proof that anyone who has an intelligence level less than a vegetable, should not try to make a living this way.

TAKE IT BACK FROM THE 1 PERCENT!!!

Thats what Im talking about. leave this guy alone, its about time the rich paid their fare share!!!
11:51 AM on 11/30/2011
Fare share? It's the people like you that condone the criminal behavior that in the long run costs our country even more money. The expenses incurred by just one criminal act (police, lawyers, prison, etc.) would astound you. But hey...what do YOU care? Your ignorance is showing. You don't know the difference between FARE and FAIR. Perhaps you missed out on your fair share of brains when you were born. So sad...

you consider wienerschnitzel in the 1%. honey, your enthusiasm is great but you need to direct it to the real culprits. this was just a stupid person, doing a stupid crime, at a stupid restaurant. i mean seriously. how much money do you think a wienerschnitzel would have in their atm? probably a sum total of $20. for their one customer a day. come on. go to the politics section and get all angry.

Just finished nearly a full of watching Bait Car and now this,... EVERY ONE of the bait car episodes found only blacks and Hispanics steeling cars and now this... why do civil rights leadwers try to sanitize the idisproportionate crime...hence incarceration to 'racism"? They're not fooling anyone.

Put some hidden cameras in Wall Street executive offices and you'll see plenty of white people committing crimes.

Watch Bait Car again, I saw three white guys take the bait and one black guy who didn't touch the car, but called police.
