Not everyone turns a new leaf for the new year. A burglar was caught on camera smashing the glass door of Bunna Cafe, an Ethiopian eatery in Bushwick, on the morning of Jan. 1, 2019. The New Year’s Day burglar successfully made off with the restaurant’s iPad and a bundle of cash from the register.

According to a restaurant employee, the burglar was able to avoid alarming the early morning cooks. The kitchen staff was already busy prepping to notice any sounds coming from the front of the house.
