Thief Steals From Donation Jar For Woman Fighting Cancer

The crime happened at Hungry Howie's Pizza & Subs on Nova Drive.

A thief was caught on camera stealing from not only the tip jar at a Davie restaurant but also from a donation jar for a woman who's battling cancer.

The crime happened during the weekend at Hungry Howie's Pizza & Subs on Nova Drive.

Manager Michael Elhaj said an employee had turned around to help a customer when the thief stole the money.

Surveillance video shows the man, waiting at the counter, dipping into the restaurant's tip jar twice -- and then into the donation jar for Rhea, who's fighting breast cancer.

"Honestly, it makes me speechless," Elhaj said.

He doesn't know Rhea personally, but he said the business wanted to help her in any way they can.

Anyone who wants to help Rhea can donate to her GoFundMe page.

"I hope that guy finds his way," Elhaj said. "In a way, I feel sorry for him."
