A brother and sister from southeast Virginia recently experienced a sour day after police said a thief snatched their money jar while the siblings sold lemonade.
The suspect was caught on camera last week stealing the children's entire day's profit outside their home in Chesapeake, a city about 20 miles southeast of Virginia Beach.
Chesapeake Police Department Officer Leo C. Kosinsk, whose agency is investigating the case, told USA TODAY the theft took place just before noon on Aug. 14. Before the theft, Kosinski confirmed, a silver Toyota four-door sedan pulled up near the stand and the suspect got out of the vehicle.

Police said the children's parents, Annetta and Josh Caldwell. filed a report after the man stole money from their young entrepreneurs.
