Crime doesn't pay, and apparently neither do these two guys

It goes without saying that if you visit a local establishment for a nice meal, or drinks, you pay the check before you exit the premises, right? Well, this isn't always the case, so one local Bar Harbor business decided to call out those who don't believe in common sense.

Yesterday, two men stopped into the Dog & Pony Tavern in Bar Harbor, rang up a $200 tab, then promptly took off without paying. Maybe they just forgot to bring their wallets (doubtful), or maybe they were in a hurry, but either way, they were captured on camera. And thanks to the beauty (or curse) of social media, we can all get a look at the perpetrators.

When you watch the video, you can see that one left first, then the second followed a short time later. All part of their master plan I assume.

If you have any information, please contact the Bar Harbor Police Department

It seems weird that people don't realize that cameras are everywhere, in fact, Mason's in Brewer, regularly takes to their social media to call out those who choose to skip out on their tabs.

Just remember, the folks at these establishments work hard each day, and also remember that someone is always watching! So pay up when the check comes!

When I saw this story, I couldn't help but remember the episode of That '70s show, in which Kelso, Eric, Donna, Jackie, Hyde and Fez all went out to a fancy dinner that Kelso had agreed to pay for because the gang didn't have any money. Of course, you know what happened next, Kelso pulled a dine & dash and stuck everyone else at the table.
