Pictured above is the vehicle the suspect was driving in early December. The day after the trash cart was stolen from the restaurant, the owners had to purchase a new one for $400. Clearly this caused some frustration.

"To whoever stole our trash cart last night:

We hope you enjoy it and are going to use it for a very long time.

We really enjoyed spending almost $400 on a brand new cart this morning. We were needing an upgraded model anyways.

Best wishes,

Rudy’s"
