The world's saddest thief has reportedly stolen cases of meat from a TGI Fridays near Penn Station.
According to the Post, the unidentified suspect swiped four cases of sirloin beef—used in TGI Friday's' famed Sizzling Sirloin and Jack Daniel's® menu items—from your suburban aunt's favorite NYC dining establishment on May 31st. Law enforcement sources told the tabloid they believe the thief snuck in through a side door at the 8th Ave and 34th Street building, walked up to the roof and used bolt cutters to open the meat freezer—which, for some reason, is located on the restaurant's roof—and hauled off the beef.
If you're going to rob a mall chain restaurant, at least steal from one that makes Bloomin' Onions.
