Ep 6. Hamburger Burglar

In Mystery Diners season 10 episode 6, entitled "Hamburger Burglar," restaurant owner Cindy contacts Charles Stiles and his team to investigate a series of missing inventory and money at her burger joint, Black Pelican. With suspicions pointing towards a certain employee, Cindy hopes to catch the culprit red-handed with the help of the Mystery Diners.

As per usual, the team sets up hidden cameras and sends in undercover Mystery Diners to work alongside the employees. A few red flags are immediately raised when one employee, Sabrina, seems to be ignoring orders and taking extended breaks in the backroom. To make matters worse, another employee, Kyle, is caught drinking on the job. However, when the nightly inventory count comes up short yet again, the team realizes that someone else might be involved.

Charles and the Mystery Diners begin to dig deeper and discover that the restaurant's storage room has been broken into and items have gone missing. With no signs of forced entry, it becomes clear that an insider is responsible for the thefts. As the investigation continues, the team learns that another employee, Tim, has been sneaking into the restaurant after hours to steal burgers and other supplies.

With all the evidence pointing towards Tim as the burger burglar, the Mystery Diners set up a sting operation to catch him in the act. With Tim unsuspectingly entering the restaurant after hours, the team springs into action and confronts him on his thievery. Shocked and caught off guard, Tim admits to his crimes and apologizes to Cindy and the other employees.

With the help of the Mystery Diners, Cindy is able to weed out the employees who were causing damage to her business and prevent further loss. The episode ends on a positive note, as the team helps Cindy implement new protocols to ensure that the restaurant runs smoothly, and business picks up once again.
