Footprints on Toilet Tip Off Police

An employee of an Arkansas gas station noticed strange rustling sounds coming from the ceiling late at night.  Checking the bathroom, he discovered a missing ceiling tile and, disturbingly, bare footprints on the toilet lid—according to a story in Yahoo! News.

The employee called police, who discovered…

a man hiding in the ceiling of the gas station—apparently planning to steal. The man had entered the gas station at 1:30 in the morning without shoes, and had wandered barefoot into both the women’s and the men’s bathroom before making his way into the ceiling.  When questioned by police, he stated he was “on a mission” to steal from the gas station.  The man gave an alias before his fingerprints tipped police off to his true identity.

 According to police, the man was acting strangely but was not apparently under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 

Still, you’d have to be under the influence of something in order to think crawling around in a gas station ceiling is a good idea—even if it’s just your own delusions!
