Restaurant owner stunned as woman walks in restroom and steals bathroom sink: Its very unusual

A restaurant owner was left stunned when he discovered a woman had walked into his eatery — and walked out with a designer sink she had stolen from the customer toilets.Robert Melman, 72, says he has ‘seen a lot of things’ in the 25 years he’s spent in the hospitality business since moving over to England from Argentina.But the owner of Jardim Rodizio Grill in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, was left taken aback when a member of his cleaning staff sent him a photo showing one of their $190.19 sinks had gone missing.After checking CCTV from the evening of Thursday, February 20, Robert could see what appeared to be a woman entering the toilets with a large black bag which looked empty.Then footage from 10 minutes later shows what appears to be the woman walking out with the same bag, which is now bulging.Robert said: “I’ve seen a lot of things in hospitality – knives, forks, some glasses. “I have had a lot of experience with people that steal from me.Wines, when I had other restaurants and the wine was on exhibition.“I never thought I’m going to see this, it’s very good that she didn’t need the toilet.

Otherwise she would have taken the toilet.”Both the sink and its attached pipes are now gone from the restaurant, which has private cubicles with their own mirrors and sinks for each customer toilet.Baffled Robert said: “The only thing that surprised me is how the person knew that it’s very easy access to that, and that it would be very easy to dismantle.“What I can think is maybe it was a customer who came one day, checked, and then came another day to do the job?“To be honest, I have no idea what to think.It’s very unusual, it’s very unusual.” Stay up on the very latest with Evening Update.
