A man dressed much like a blue ninja broke into a St. Clair Shores, MI, jewelry store, police say.

The culprit tried and failed to break through the front window of Michael Agnello Jewelers using a pipe, Click On Detroit reports. He then managed to break in through the front door. (Watch video of the break-in below.)

The incident, which happened at about 4 a.m., resulted in thousands of dollars in damage. The thief made off with a few items, but nothing of high value, said store owner Michael Agnello.

Given the criminal’s attire and general incompetence, Agnello found humor in the situation.

“We cracked up at it, it’s pretty hilarious,” he told the news outlet.

Police have a person of interest in the case but haven’t yet made any arrests.

Jeweler to Close Store, but Grow Overall Business

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
