OK, if you are going to break into a store, any store (allegedly) and steal money, why take off your mask? I mean, in the past, the big question was mask or no mask, right?

If you wear a mask and someone is inside, they automatically know you are there to commit a crime and can defend their position and/or alert the authorities. If you don't wear a mask, the tech is going to get you.

These were the burning questions prior to COVID-19, but to go without a mask now?  This makes no sense. The pandemic has given criminals everywhere a leg up on the authorities and a built in excuse to hide your face in broad daylight or behind closed doors with cameras watching.

I should probably call the New Milford P.D. I do recognize that guy, I just can't put my finger on where from? Oh, I know, it's Drake from State Farm.

So much for "Like a Good Neighbor." Good neighbors don't yoink the cash from the local salon (allegedly).
