A bakery in Runnemede, New Jersey has taken to social media in the hopes of finding out who stole a tip jar right off their counter.

Runnemede NJ Bakery Robbed of Tip Jar

The alleged crime happened Monday, February 26 at Deluxe Italian Bakery, located on E. Clements Bridge Road in Runnemede.

Deluxe is a bakery popular with Camden County locals and beyond that's been in business for more than 70 years.

But on Monday, someone took their love for the bakery a little too far, helping themselves to more than just its delicious pastries and bread. The person sneakily swiped a jar full of tips for the bakery staff in plain sight.

Deluxe Italian Bakery has posted surveillance photos of the suspected tip jar thief on its Facebook page hoping someone from the public can help identify him.

Runnemede Police Department is also urging the suspect to turn themselves in and accept their punishment.

Stealing a jar of tips meant to benefit employees or a charity is about the lowest, pettiest of acts out there, in my opinion.

If you recognize the suspect, contact Deluxe Bakery at 856-939-5000 or Runnemede Police Department at 856-939-0330.

Stealing is mean and dangerous. Ya know what else might be dangerous? That car you're driving. Find out what I mean below.
