Well, it seems that the city of Fort Myers has a new foodie on the loose - but this one doesn't seem to be interested in cooking up a storm. No, According to NBC2, this culinary criminal has been spotted stealing food straight out of people's fridges!

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Who steals food from someone else's fridge? That's just cold!" But apparently, this suspect doesn't give a fridge about other people's property. He's been caught on camera breaking into a family's lanai and making off with all sorts of goodies - from sodas to tortillas to meats and cheese.

Honestly, I have to give the guy credit for having such diverse taste. Most people would just grab a slice of pizza or some leftover Chinese food, but this guy is going all out. Maybe he's a food blogger trying to expand his palate. Or maybe he's just really hungry. Who knows?

Fort Myers Family:

But one thing's for sure - the Lopez family, whose fridge has been repeatedly raided by this thief, have had enough. They've set up cameras to catch the thief in the act, and have even reported him to the police. And now, it's up to the good people of Fort Myers to keep an eye out for a suspect in a black hoodie, black pants with three stripes, black shoes, and a dark-colored backpack.

So if you see someone sneaking around your neighbor's lanai, don't be afraid to speak up! After all, this is a serious crime - especially if your neighbor has some really good leftovers in their fridge. Let's put an end to this food theft once and for all, and make Fort Myers safe for all snackers.
