Being on the Atkins diet will make you do crazy things for a bite of anything remotely carbohydrate.... REUTERS/Claro Cortes IVThe Starbucks currently has their doors boarded up. The coffee employees shared their tale with a local LA newsblogger, reported by Defamer.com:

"At 5am this morning, a "drunken naked guy" used a sock full of rocks to
shatter the glass on the front door, and stormed inside to eat "all the
pastries". Police responded and found the guy running around the store,
resisting arrest. He had feathers in his hair and an American flag...
although it wasn't explained to me if this was a large or small flag, or
where it was placed (or, perhaps, raised). The cops had to use rubber
bullets and a beanbag shotgun to subdue him."

One Barista reported: "In spite of what happened,
they still let me come to work today." Some employees mused it could have been a sympathizer of actor Rupert Everett's, who is currently petitioning to keep the behemoth chain out of his London neighborhood.
