Owner Patrick White told INSIDE EDITION that when he got to work on Sunday he found a window had been forced open. When staff checked out surveillance footage, they saw the entire robbery had been caught on camera.
After police gave him the go-ahead, White shared the footage on the restaurant's Facebook page, along with a special promise.
"If yours is the tip that lands him in jail, we’ll give you FREE PIZZA FOR A YEAR!" he said.
"Please share this video, to help protect our community from jerks who skulk about in sunglasses at night and steal from small businesses."
White told IE that he's serious about the free pizza.
"We just want to catch this person so this doesn't happen to someone else," he said. "It doesn't hurt one person. It hurts my entire staff. Everyone is nervous."
So far, there have been no tips to help catch the guy. But while they lost the cash, they've gained something quite unexpected, White said.
