Man Breaks Into Bakery Cleans Up Takes Selfies And Steals Cupcakes

A bakery owner in was 'left in stitches' after watching surveillance footage of a well-meaning intruder break into her store. 
When Emma Irvine, owner of Sweet Something in Vancouver, found the door to her small business shattered on Friday morning, she turned to the surveillance footage to find out what happened. 
Video of the burglary showed the thief breaking in before sweeping the floor, taking selfies on the company phone and then fleeing with the mere booty of six chocolate champagne cupcakes. 
Irvine found the situation so hilarious that she decided to share the video on , which has now been liked more than 234,000 times and viewed more than a million. 
The baker explained that the Vancouver Police 'had a great laugh' with her about the unusual crime and she filed a report but the suspect has not yet been found. 
The burglary took place in the early hours of Friday morning when the suspect kicked the front door glass in and carefully clambered through from the street.

The dark-haired man, wearing a black top and beige trousers, then sits calmly on a stool for 15 minutes, as if waiting to be served. 
After going to the toilet he locates a mop and bucket and decides to clear up the mess he created from bashing the door in. 
In another strange twist the thief then takes a range of selfie pictures while wearing orange sunglasses on the company cell phone. 
After being in the business for an hour and fifteen minutes the mysterious burglar completed his pastry heist with six chocolate champagne cupcakes in a takeaway box. 
After her first video went viral Irvine posted another to the platform on Sunday, to update viewers on the situation. 
The new video included a picture of the bakery's pink front door boarded up and revealed that Sweet Something has created a new cupcake, 'The Crime of Passion', to commemorate the incident and raise money for a replacement.  
The 'Crime of Passion' treat offers the same chocolate champagne base that so delighted the thief, but is topped by a sugar cookie shaped like the man's orange sunglasses. Six of the cakes can be picked up in the store for $45.

Despite seeing the funny side Irvine thanked those who have watched and shared her videos, saying 'we all know its been a tough time for small businesses in the food industry.' 
'It's been really nice to see the community come together and get behind us so I just want to say thanks to each and every one of you.'
'Initially, my heart sank,' Irvine later .

'It's hard as a small business — especially coming out of COVID — to survive right now, and one more expense doesn't make it easier.'
However, she said the circumstances meant her 'mindset quickly changed. It was hilarious - I was in stitches watching (the footage),' Irvine said.
Ultimately she found she 'can't be too mad at this guy.'
On the attention the video has got the business owner said: 'I thought no one was going to see it (other than) my friends.

I didn't think that we'd be getting the traction that we've gotten. The media on the business is far more than I could've ever dreamed.'
'Small businesses can't afford to not carry on after something like this, so we're making the best out of it,' Irvine said.
Vancouver Police did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
