Hot potato! CCTV footage captures man stealing a bag of spuds off car roof in Kildare

Sometimes you just have to laugh at the lengths that people will go to just to do a random act of badness.

Yesterday afternoon a member of the Leinster Fresh Produce Factory Shop in Rathangan posted a video onto facebook showing a brazen thief who saw the opportunity to steal a bag of potatoes and duly took it.

According to the post on the Leinster Fresh Produce Factory Shop facebook page, the staff member only left their vehicle for a few moments, but that was long enough for the thief to make a move.

"Today at 2 pm Wednesday I brought out to my van a sample of a bag of Golden wonders a local farmer gave to me to bring home and try. When I got out to the van it was locked so had to go in get keys.

"By the time I came back out this gentleman pulled up and stole it," read the post.

The company have his registration number and a close up of the man's face, but they are wondering whether or not it is worth reporting to Gardaí.

One other thing to note is that the man appears to be driving a relatively new Audi, which would lead one to believe that he is hardly that stuck that he needs to rob a bag of spuds...
