Bold Thief Poses As Restaurant Employee
The woman walks into restaurants and heads straight for the staff area. But, she's been caught on video, according to a report.

LIVONIA, MI – A brazen thief has taken a liking to casual dining restaurants – especially the valuables kept by employees, according to a report. The woman, posing as a new employee, typically walks into a restaurant and is directed to an employees area. There, she steals personal property of real employees, according to a report by WXYZ-TV.
The woman has used the tactic in at least three different restaurants – Red Robin, Buffalo Wild Wings and P.F. Chang's – in the Livonia area, according to the report. A surveillance camera at P.F. Chang's reportedly caught the woman on video stealing an employee's purse, the TV station reported.
