Hungry burglar

Is a hungry thief with an appetite for timepieces behind a recent home burglary on Avenue L in Fort Pierce?

Fort Pierce police on Jan. 19 spoke to a 32-year-old woman who said her house in the 1200 block of Avenue L had been burglarized for a third time, a recently released police report states. The perpetrator, she said, came in through a window.

The woman walked through the home with a police officer and she "observed that the suspect had been eating her food and left some of it on top of the oven, including an empty candy jar."

The apparent food burglar is not to be confused with the Hamburglar, the McDonald's character known for his black-and-white outfit, flamboyant, wide-brimmed hat and mask.

"His mission was simply to steal hamburgers," according to an article by Frances Romero on Time.com. "Why? No one really knows."

The exact amount of time the perp spent in the home wasn't immediately clear, but it apparently was enough time to take four timepieces.

The woman said four watches -- two silver, one white and one pink -- were taken.
