It is not known if the suspect simply had to freshen up himself and his apartment before a hot date later that night, but it is clearly stated in the release that he failed to pay for the items before leaving the store.

Police have now turned to the public for assistance in identifying the suspect and locating the stolen appliances, which total a value of approximately $590.

The man is described as having lighter brown skin, short to medium length brown hair, and was wearing black jeans, a grey long sleeve shirt, and a black vest at the time of the incident.
