Patience not a virtue for warehouse thief

A man hid inside a restaurant for an entire day in order to gain easy access to a connected warehouse in Wuhan, Hubei province, and then stole 250,000 yuan ($36,601) worth of electronics.

The thief surnamed Huang climbed up to the ceiling and hid there until the morning. The restaurant next to the department store in the city's Zhongshandadao road was being decorated.
