Brazen Theft of Air Conditioner at Gladstone Daycare

Gladstone, MO - In a shocking incident that has left parents and staff outraged, an air conditioner was stolen from the beloved Kids Kingdom Daycare located at 6968 North Broadway. The brazen theft occurred early yesterday morning, leaving the daycare's premises in sweltering heat.

The incident was captured on the daycare's security cameras, although the quality of the images is not ideal. A few stills from the footage show a suspect believed to be responsible for the theft and are provided above. The daycare authorities and the Gladstone Police are seeking assistance from the public in identifying the culprit. Anyone who recognizes the individual based on their build, tattoos, or other distinguishing features is urged to contact Kids Kingdom or the Gladstone Police promptly.

Raylene, an employee at the daycare, expressed her shock and dismay over the incident. "He left us with no A/C this morning for the children. People are just awful and need to get a job!" she exclaimed, clearly frustrated by the audacity of the thief.

The air conditioner was repaired the next morning and Kids Kingdom was open for business by mid day.
