“He emerged from the food store with one of our Santa hats - obviously trying to get into the Xmas spirit for cooking his turkey.”

The bar added: “We just want to make people aware that there are people out there snooping around when we are all tucked up safe inside.

“ I would rather have given away the food than some twat steal it and profit from it.”
