A woman took the opportunity of an unattended cash register at a Chevron gas station in Florida to swipe some quick cash, but was surprised by the clerk and had to make a Cinderella-like escape leaving only her flip-flop behind.

WTSP walks us through the sequence of events as you see the lady bandit walk up to the counter and, thinking she's alone, try to get behind the counter.

She crawls cat-like through a glass enclosure to reach the register, checks a room out of the camera's view, and returns to the register and spends about half a minute carefully navigating the computer register's menu to open the cash drawer.



Scooping up the cash, she makes a dramatic getaway from the store clerk, who appeared just as she was about to wrap up. She lost a flip-flop in the fracas, and the clerk hit the floor when he lost his grip on her leg.

She's a white female in her 20s-30s wearing tight-fitting blue shorts with a white belt and tight-fitting pink shirt. She has shoulder-length, straight dark hair.

Atlantis police are enhancing surveillance footage of the gas pumps to get a clear image of the license plate on the SUV she drove.
