Since there was a previous break in the bakery was secure from any normal way of entering the building. So this thief, thought it would be a good idea to go through the ceiling. Once again, not a good move. Especially, if you're not familiar with the construction of the place.

As the thief tries crawling through the ceiling to enter the bakery, he breaks through the tile and crashes to the floor. Now, he's injured and destroyed property. I don't think the suspect has insurance to cover either issue. After all that, he walks away with nothing but a bruised ego.

The whole thing is caught on security camera footage. There's the evidence to arrest him. Maybe, he can win the "America's Dumbest Criminal Video" contest to help pay for his lawyer once he gets arrested.
