Seriously? Who knocks off a Chinese restaurant?! “GIMME THE MONEY! Oh and some cheese wontons too!” Lol
I’m glad this guy got caught! I get my hair cut at Rhonda’s and Misty does a really good job for me. I just hope the ladies at Rhonda’s didn’t have too much taken from them and I hope they got back what was taken. I swear ya’ll, I just hate thieves!
