Naked thieves steal 60 burgers from eatery, leave trail of red peppers on beach

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. — A southwest Florida waitress has dubbed the trio of naked hamburger thieves who broke into an eatery "dumb, dumber and dumbest."

Initially, the trio wore only underwear, but before leaving, the suspects were caught on video removing their underwear and walking around the kitchen nude.

Waitress Nancy Sansevieri was still laughing after police released surveillance photos Wednesday showing the college-aged men stealing 60 hamburgers from Doc's Beach House in Bonita Beach.

Police said the men broke in early Sunday and left a trail of red peppers on the beach.

Doc's general manager Lou Bangert told the News-Press of Fort Myers that he's never witnessed such a crime in the restaurant's 27-year history. Thieves have broken in and taken money from the cash register, but he says no one has ever slammed through a door completely naked looking for beef.
