One way to commit a crime is to create a distraction, and maybe that’s what a man at a Sears store in New Hampshire was trying to do when he allegedly filled a cart with power drills and made chicken noises when employees tried to stop him. He left the cart full of tools behind, but police would like to know his whereabouts.

CBS Boston has a still image from surveillance video, and fortunately for everyone, there’s no audio. It would be interesting to find out what kind of chicken noises startle Sears employees: did he cluck, or crow like a rooster? Would he have escalated to dancing like a chicken if they had confronted him further, or if police had caught him in the movie theater parking lot where he was last seen?

The man is described as white and dark-haired and in his twenties or thirties, and he is able to run in flip-flops, which is impressive.
