After strumming a few notes, the man walked out of the store without paying for the guitar, police said.
Store employees recognized the man as a regular, but they do not believe he has ever made a purchase at the retail location. In the past, he has told staff he is from the Trenton area, police said.
The suspect made off on a adult-size, all terrain bicycle with “TREK” written on it. The bike was reportedly adorn with LED lights strung “haphazardly” to the frame.
