A North Carolina man is facing multiple felony charges after he broke into a Little Caesars after closing time and started making and selling pizzas, according to police. It happened Sunday, the day after a massive snow storm hit the state, and the suspect kept all the money for himself, the Kinston Police Department said in a Feb. 2 news release.

An arrest was made after the suspect tried to break into the shop a second time, police said.

I was way off. Seems to be an urban legend from Bristol. U. K.

I live in Bristol, it may very well not be an urban legend. This happened at Bristol zoo, in the carpark there. Thing was, the zoo staff assumed he worked for the council and the council workers assumed he worked for the zoo. He was always very polite, turned up on time every day, looked the part. There are lots of people who say they remember him. This went on for many years, until one day he just stopped. Retired, I guess.
