After he noticed the theft, he reviewed security footage, which revealed a male walking across the parking lot around 9:30 p.m. He appeared to be wearing blue jeans, a long white jacket, dark gloves and a tire iron. Negrei told police that it appeared to be the same guy seen in video from past thefts, but that he was normally accompanied by a "skinny male."
