There’s no sound, but what you’re watching is surveillance video of a fellow who might have a tough time paying his bail when the police eventually catch up with him.
The surveillance footage, recorded Sept. 10 at the YMCA Doris Mechanick Child Development Center in Indio, shows a man drop into the playroom through the ventilation system in the ceiling and immediately target what may have appeared in the dark to be a real cash register.
The cash register was a plastic toy, however, and the cash the man fled with was worthless play money.
Oops.
Police speculate that the same person may be behind other, possibly more lucrative break-ins in the area, none of which appear to have occurred at places that sell flashlights.
