Surveillance video shows a man breaking through the doors of a West Babylon restaurant and stealing money from a tip jar left on the counter.
Owners of Alitalia Pizzeria & Restaurant say the thief was in and out in under two minutes.
They say he only made off with around $50 to $100, but the restaurant will need to pay over $1,000 in repairs.
"It's so ridiculous - we work so hard and everyone here is just sick," says co-owner Fabio Gambino. "Good people, and it's just disgusting."
Police tell News 12 no arrests have been made as of 2 p.m. Thursday.
