Team Titi's was understandably not happy, and they posted the footage on Instagram, asking their 36,000-plus followers to help track down the sign.
Per the post:
Please help us find our custom sign. Posting this on our feed so ya'll can share and help us locate/identify these fools. These dudes are mad corny and need to do better. Custom signs cost a ton of money and are necessary to get our name and brand out there. This has a larger impact than they think.
The outreach apparently worked.
Sunday night at 11, the camera picked up someone — dressed inconspicuously for a nightime stroll on Seventh Street in a hoodie, sunglasses and a homemade ski mask — returning the sign.
EVG reader Drew Heffron pointed out the returned sign included a Post-it note: "So sorry. It was a dick move."
Titi's NYC Inspired Empanadas expanded here from Williamsburg, debuting back in June.
“It was a dick move” .. are these 14 year olds or grown men??? You committed a crime against a local business, and needed to be shamed online about it in order for you to return the stolen property. You would’ve been wise to say nothing at all. Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteGlad Titi’s got their sign back!
I disagree, some dicks show growth.
DeleteAnd it only took "36,000-plus followers", i.e. witnesses, to help this dick realize what a total moron he was/is. Betcha his girlfriend made him return it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not in favor doxing but in this case I might be persuaded. Too many millennials carousing nightly in our neighborhood as if it was a theme park with no rules.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. No woman would ever want to date these three.
DeleteWe already saw your faces bros! What an embarrassment, they don’t even know how to spell titties. Typical manchild behavior.

DeleteWhy should he? Yuppies should be reminded whose neighborhood they r in
DeleteI am all for the guy returning the sign, unharmed. Admit when you have done something wrong and make amends. Better than just getting rid of it. Also, the post it apology is also better than no apology at all.
ReplyDeletesounds a bit like what one of the theives would have said
DeleteHopefully they secure it better. Glad they did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteAt least they returned the sign they took which is good not like the other idiots who are cutting down the trees and stealing flowers that people have planted on the LES/EV.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, your typical frat bro that thinks everything is a joke.
ReplyDeleteMy 5 year old nephew has better handwriting. Losers can't even write K properly.
