A man broke into a YMCA in Indio, California, to steal cash from a register but ended up getting away with nothing but a pile of phony money.
Both the cash and the register were fake.
According to KESQ-TV, security camera footage shows the man breaking into the YMCA Child Development Center through a ceiling duct. He is then seen escaping with the "cash" out the door.
The thief is still at large, but Indio police say thieves like this tend to repeat their behavior — which could allow authorities to capture the perpetrator at a future point in time.
“Thieves tend to have specific MOs with stuff that they follow and stuff that they get comfortable with,” said Sgt. Dan Marshall. “They don’t get caught doing it once and they figure, hey, it’s a tried-and-true method and then they stick to it.”
