Thief Cons Waitress, Steals $98
Casa de Fruta – Know your math: A middle-aged man gave a waitress at Casa de Fruta a $50 bill for a $2 cup of coffee about noon June 20. She gave him $48 change. The man told her he wanted his $50 bill back, and gave her back the $48 in change, along with $2 for the cup of coffee, and asked for a $100 bill. Confused, the waitress obliged, handing him a $100 bill in exchange for his $2. The man made off with $98. He is described as an African-American man in his 50s, stands 5 feet, 7 inches tall, and weighs 170 pounds, with an Afro and glasses.
