LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — A wetsuit-clad robber swam away with at least $10,000 from a restaurant at Disney Springs.
The Orange County Sheriff’s office said the Paddlefish, a restaurant that looks like a paddlewheel boat at the Disney entertainment district, was closed for the night and no guests were at the business at the time of the heist, but there were employees, WFTV reported.
The alleged robber forced two employees into a corner of the room, telling them to close their eyes, WFTV reported.

Wow, quadruple post.
You win!
There are easier places to rob. The lake that the restaurant is on and the adjoining waterways and land are Disney property. This bolsters the natural suspicion that the robber was a current or former Disney employee, perhaps even a restaurant employee. Or, in some manner, the robber was assisted by a current or former employee.
good points.
