Thief Breaks Into Gioco and Opens Safe with Pots & Pans

A strange story (via NBC5):

Like something out of a heist movie, surveillance video caught a thief breaking into a South Loop restaurant's safe last week using kitchen items and a large file, ultimately making off with thousands of dollars. The suspect tried to break into two businesses early Friday morning on the 1300 block of South Wabash, police said. He managed to get into Gioco, an Italian restaurant on the block, by smashing in the front door.

Also sounds like the thief tried to get into Flo & Santos next door but was scared away by an employee who was inside.
