SACRAMENTO, California (WABC) -- A man broke into an animal shelter in California, but he didn't try to steal cash - he tried to steal gumballs.
The man dubbed the 'Gumball Bandit' struggled to drag the machine through a broken window at the shelter in Sacramento.
At one point, the gumballs spilled out and left the man with only the machine.
Eventually the bandit brought the machine out through another exit and tossed it over a barbed wire fence.
His wild journey has gone viral.

What’s the problem? Most animals don’t even chew gum...

Perhaps an adult male—by virtue of age—did that, but I question the term ‘man’.

Back when Woody Allen was still funny there was a scene in one of his movies (Take The Money and Run, IIRC) where he robs gumball machines and parking meters. He takes his love interest (Louise Lasser?) to a high end restaurant for dinner, and after getting the check, pays in quarters.
