The owner of Chunky Pam's Sweet Shoppe at 1096 Post Road in Darien told police that approximately $350 was taken from his wallet on Monday, Aug. 2. Around 6:30 p.m., after the store was closed for business, the owner was standing outside and was approached by a man carrying electrical signs and pulling a rolling laptop case, police said. The owner and the man went into the store to discuss the signs until around 7:30 p.m., when the owner said he declined to purchase electrical signs and the man with the signs asked to use the restroom. When the man with the signs left the store on foot, the owner said his wallet holding around $350 was not on the counter in the rear of the store where he had left it. The owner searched and found the empty wallet stuffed on the floor behind the toilet in the restroom, police said. The man with the signs is described as an Hispanic male, in his mid-20s, approximately 5-foot-6, with "really bad teeth." He was reported to be wearing a T-shirt, baggy jeans and Nike shoes with gray, green and silver colors.
