(Image © AP Photo/Carlos Osorio) Canadian police are hunting for a brazen thief who swiped a take-away meal while making a naked sprint past a fast food restaurant's drive-though window in Vancouver, reports Reuters.

An employee of a Langley, British Columbia, Wendy's restaurant was handing food to a customer waiting in her car when a naked man ran between them, taking off with her fries, and leaving little evidence behind, according to police.

The man, believed to be in his 20s, jumped into a waiting van, which sped away from the scene, police said.
