The burglar supposedly forced their way inside the gas station. You might think they would have gone after a cash register or safe. You'd be wrong. This thief made off with several packs of cigarettes. They didn't even go for the cartons.

After they allegedly loaded up on smokes, they hopped on a bicycle and rode off into the sunset...so to speak. Before they left, though, they were caught on camera.
