Torres said he's worried the person will target another business if he's not caught. 'When I see him grabbing the clothing and taking advantage of everything, he knows what he’s grabbing, it breaks my heart inside you know,' said Torres.'This guy took us by surprise, we never thought this going to happen.'Torres was inside the warehouse when the thief snuck up to the second floor of the building, an area that is not open to the public. 'We was busy down there taking care of people, there were about 900 people down there,' said Torres.'I'm being hurt and worried because this guy knows who we are, my daughter, wife, son, are worried too. I mean what is going to happen with this guy? This guy is on the streets, that’s something we worry more.'
