A woman entered a restaurant to use the restroom and allegedly stole the £150 sink.
Robert owns a Brazilian steakhouse in Cheshire. The sink, plus some pipes, mysteriously vanished. His staff checked the CCTV footage to investigate the issue; the video showed a woman entering the restaurant and walking straight to the restroom with an empty bag.
Later, she left with her bag appearing full. Robert believes she stole the ladies’ room sink. It was an imitation stone basin, worth about £150.
He told reporters he’d never seen anything similar. The CCTV showed her entering, seemingly just to use the facilities. The woman carried a small black bag and spent around 11 minutes inside the restroom.
She left with her bag now filled with something. Robert admits people take little things sometimes, however, stealing a whole sink seemed very unusual.
His staff found the missing sink during a routine check. The discovery shocked them last Thursday. The restaurant has separate restrooms for men and women.
Each restroom stall features its own small, nice sink. These are designed for customers to wash hands. Robert was astonished by the event and laughed. He replaced the sink and police were informed about the unusual crime.
