"He must have been here before, probably a customer of mine," owner Chris Brown postulated to WSVN-TV.
After dumping the registers in their getaway car -- which was also caught on camera -- the thieves return for the remaining registers. Brown estimates that there was approximately $2,000 in cash in the registers at the time.
"This is the first time this has happened here. It's just tragic because it's just such a special day," he added.
Even with the mess inside his restaurant, Brown didn't let the burglars ruin his Thanksgiving -- he still went ahead with plans to distribute food to the poor that morning.
"Going out and giving back, it just brings a warmth. It isn't what you can make, or what you can take, it is what you guys can give. That is what really counts and makes things special," Brown said.
