Chicago Police are looking for a man who posed as a City Inspector and robbed a Subway restaurant in the Loop before fleeing the store...and leaving the money behind. The incident happened over the weekend at the Subway in the 100 block of North Wells Street. According to CBS 2:

Investigators say he displayed what looked like a City of Chicago photo ID card and said he was there to inspect the business. He walked around the area behind the counter, checking licenses, then displayed a handgun and announced a robbery

.

Police say the man then took money from the register. But the real head-scratcher? As he was leaving the restaurant, he tossed the money on a table, leaving it behind as he exited the store. They released surveillance footage of the man, pictured right, described as "a black male 25 to 30, bald with brown eyes and a dark complexion, and about 6 feet and 180 pounds."
