A Grinch with a thirst has stolen a slab of beer left as a Christmas gift for a Geelong business, according to police.
Investigators posted images of the alleged suspect on Facebook, prompting one offended follower to slam him as a “loser”.
Police said the surveillance camera images showed him driving a black Ford Focus, which another viewer identified as now unregistered.
The man first tried to open a locked front door when he arrived at the Latrobe Tce financial services business on 21 December, police said.
“The male then sighted a slab of Corona sitting next to the door, which had been left for staff, and took it before leaving in a vehicle.”
Other Facebook followers criticised the brand choice, labelling Corona “worst beer ever”.
“I wouldn’t even steal ‘em,” posted another.
Police alleged that the same vehicle and male were also involved in a theft at Leopold three days earlier.
Anyone with information should phone Geelong Police’s youth tasking unit on 5225 3100 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, police said.
