A wild true-crime story has resurfaced after a man who stole $2,000 from a Burger King restaurant managed to escape and stay hidden for more than a decade — only to finally be caught 13 years later.
According to reports, the theft happened during a late-night shift. The man snatched the money and vanished without a trace, leaving police scrambling. For years, he lived under the radar, moving around and keeping a low profile while authorities continued the search.
But after more than a decade of freedom, his luck ran out. Police finally tracked him down and arrested him, bringing the long manhunt to an end.
The bizarre case has gone viral, with many people online stunned at how he managed to avoid capture for so long over such a relatively small amount. Some joked it was “the most expensive Whopper of all time,” while others pointed out that $2,000 cost him 13 years of hiding.
👉 What do you think — was 13 years on the run worth $2,000, or the dumbest crime ever?
