Alleged thief’s exploits in closed movie theater caught on camera

SEATTLE -- Security camera video captured the exploits of a man who may or may not have spent the night in a downtown movie theater Monday, according to the Seattle Police Department.

AMC Pacific Place 11 employees, security guards and police officers gathered around to watch the poor-quality surveillance footage Monday morning.

The man first pops up around 7 a.m. behind the popcorn counter. It's unknown how he got into the theater, but it's possible he slept there overnight, according to the police report.

Surveillance footage shows the man attempting to open money drop boxes and cash register boxes to no avail. He can then be seen hunting around for a tool to use to open them. Finding one, the man returns to the cash boxes only to fail once again.

Cashless, the man next pops up on camera in the employee break room, where he opens and searches through lockers.

He drinks part of a Mountain Dew soda from an employee fridge before putting it in a plastic bag with some Nike Air Jordans he found, according to the police report. Footage also shows him take an employee's North Face jacket.

Finally, the man hops on an employee's bicycle and rides it around the theater for a bit before leaving with it.

It's possible this surveillance footage is the best thing currently in theaters.
