Florida Man strikes again!!

[Coventina]

Naked Florida man revealed on video sneaking into restaurant and munching on ramen

ST. PETERSBURG — It started with chicken wings, a beer and a burglar.

It went downhill from there.

A St. Petersburg police officer was investigating a Nov. 6 break-in at The Chattaway restaurant, reviewing surveillance video that shows the burglar devouring a plate of chicken wings and enjoying a beer inside the kitchen. But then the officer stumbled across another incident from the night before.

The video shows a man riding his bike up to the restaurant at 358 22nd Ave S, pedaling around the parking lot for 10 minutes, then slipping in through the back gate. After wandering around for a bit, he opens the door to a shed for storing odds and ends, and removes them one by one.

Then the man gains access to a restaurant bathroom. And exits without his clothes.

He proceeds to sit naked at one of the restaurant's picnic tables and digs into a meal he brought with him — Maruchan Instant Lunch ramen. The video also shows him playing the bongos, also naked.

3. I am thinking of the physical aspects of riding naked.

And encountering bumps in the road.

4. Something in the water? The heat?

6. It may be due to their open records laws ... every arrest and the evidence is available publicly

And if I understand it correctly, even online.

Which makes it pretty easy for journalists to whip up stories about 'Florida Man' with just a trip to the police/court website(s) in a way that's not as convenient in many other states.

Anyways, that's what I saw on some comedy show recently

I'd guess that probably the mild weather attracts an inordinate number of homeless people as well ... and lets face it ... being homeless is both the caused by, and the creator of ... a lot of mental health issues.
