This alleged thief isn't likely to be described as a master of disguise.
The CCTV footage appears to show him raiding fruit machines - wearing a big bag.
A 45-year-old man from Sicily was arrested by police after the video came to light.
The footage shows a man at a bar in Terni, Italy, as he smashes the machines with the end of a pool cue.
With the makeshift disguise covering his face and torso, he causes significant damage as he prises open the cash slot and pulls out the money.
He made off with approximately £1,100 in cash, according to Italian media.

It is thought the man caused almost £8,000 of damage to the casino room of the bar.
Italian police later confirmed that the man arrested was supposed to be under house arrest after a previous conviction.
They said it was the eleventh time he has been stopped by authorities in the last three months.
