Cake thief wants too much of a good thing, gets caught

Nation's Restaurant News, June 17, 2002

MEXICO CITY -- A knife-wielding thief robbed a pastry shop employee of a chocolate cake four days in a row.

But his sweet tooth and predictability ended up getting the best of him. Police arrested the man the fifth time he came to the store.

According to a report by Reuters news service, the man made the mistake of striking the Azteca pastry shop each day at 8 a.m. After the fourth morning the bakery's manager called police and told them about the strangely punctual robber.

The next morning, when he hit the store, police were waiting.
