After sailing for about an hour, authorities said the man attempted to exit the business with his hands full of merchandise, only to find the main entrance locked because it was almost closing time.

Security footage captured the visibly irate thief yelling at employees to open the doors and attempting to break through and kick in the doors to no avail.
As one of the employees was about to open the door, authorities said the suspect realized he could open the lock himself.
Before leaving, he aggressively pushed one of the employees to the ground, then picked up a pile of clothes from a nearby rack and ran off.
The suspect got into a red truck that was waiting outside and disappeared into the night before employees could call local police.
