{HOBOKEN, N.J. - Police in New Jersey say a man posing as a waiter collected $186 in cash from diners at two restaurants and walked out with the money in his pocket.
Diners described the bogus waiter as a spikey-haired 20-something in button-down shirt, yellow tie and khaki pants.
Police say he approached two women at one restaurant around 7:20 p.m., asked if they needed anything else before paying.
They said no and handed him $90 in cash.
About two hours later he approached three women dining at another eatery, where he took $96 in cash.
They got worried when he didn't return with their change.}

This is pretty low, to trick people out of their money at a restaurant. Although his scam was not as vast as the one perpetrated by Bernard_Madoff, it can still inconvenience many people. This guy can continue to pose as a waiter until he is caught. More & more restaurants are installing cameras so it will be easier to catch thieves like him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_recognition_system
