One burglar's attempt to cover up a surveillance video with fast food napkins resulted in him staring close-up into the camera, giving police a clear shot of his face.

As MSNBC reports, on November 22, 2011, at about 2:15 a.m., two men broke into a Wienerschnitzel fast food restaurant in Anaheim. They entered through the drive-in window and covered the surveillance video with napkins and fast food sticker labels. The suspects proceeded to use a pallet jack to take the store's ATM machine, which contained about two thousand dollars, and transport it to a possible waiting vehicle.

However, at one point during the robbery, a napkin fell from one of the surveillance cameras. When one of the suspects replaced the napkin, his cover-up foiled and the camera caught a straight-on image of his face.

According to CBS, the photographed suspect is described as 1) "a black male, 5'7", medium build with black hair and mustache.. seen wearing all-black clothing including gloves and a Dickies baseball cap." The second suspect is described as "a black male, also 5'7", medium build, all-black clothing and gloves."

Police are asking anyone with information about either suspect to call Detective Chris Cooper at (714) 765-1185.
