A St. Augustine hair salon owner is offering a free haircut and blowout for anyone with information that leads to the arrest of a thief who stole a flower pot from the front of her business.
Angela Thomas told The Citizen that Ring camera footage showed a woman pulling up to Angela Joy & Co. ‘A Hair Salon’ in an SUV at 1:44 a.m. Saturday morning.
The video appears to show the suspect reach down and grab a flower pot before placing it in her car and driving off.
ᐧThe livid business owner said she’s offering up the incentive to help nab the botanical bandit.

While the loss might be minimal, Thomas said she’s more upset that someone would target a modest local merchant.
“It seems silly,” she said. “But we are a small business. We work hard and those flowers — we get compliments all the time. We would love to hold someone accountable.”
The Ring camera did not capture the woman’s license plate, but Thomas said she’s canvassing neighboring businesses to see if they had any relevant footage.
