It appears a man had plans to kick back and relax rather than attend a court appearance, according to police in Guelph, Ont.
In a release on Friday, police said they were called to a business on Stone Road at Edinburgh Road about a shoplifting incident on Monday.
Investigators say a hammock and pillow valued at more than $500 were taken from the store.
They say the suspect was located in the Silvercreek Parkway and Paisley Road area Thursday morning, and a search turned up $512 worth of stolen tools and work gloves.
Further investigation revealed that the accused was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday on unrelated charges but did not show up.
A 28-year-old Guelph man faces new charges in relation to the thefts in addition to outstanding ones, and was held for a bail hearing.
