Man uses fake Bob Dylan security pass to order 178 pizzas.. then disappears without paying
A restaurant has fallen victim to a prankster who had them make 178 pizzas by claiming they were for singer Bob Dylan and his crew.
An imposter wearing a fake pass for a Dylan concert called in an Antonio's restaurant and placed the huge order worth more than $3,900.
He told the owner the pizzas were for Dylan and his crew who had appeared in concert in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Staff at Antonios worked until 5.30am to make the pizzas - but were left stunned when no one returned to collect the order.
Sean McElligott, manager of Antonio's, said they had been 'too trusting'.
He said the man wore a backstage pass for the Dylan concert.
Owner Walter Pacheco sent security camera images of the prankster in to a local news station in hopes of tracking him down.
Many of the pizzas were given away, but most were thrown away.
'It was a tremendous waste of time, money, food, and effort.
'Our people were here very late. People who had worked a full shift had to work an extra four hours and got out at about 6 in the morning,' said McElligott.
