Security footage shows a clearly angry shoplifter yelling at an employee to open the door, then lunging and attempting to kick the door to no avail.
When one of the employees tried to unlock the door, the suspect realized he could unlock the bolt himself, officials said.
Before leaving, he aggressively pushed one of his employees to the ground, picked up a pile of clothing from a nearby clothing rack, and rushed out.
The suspect rammed a red truck waiting outside and disappeared in the middle of the night before an employee called local police.
