Clermont (WTFF) – A Florida man reportedly stole a bicycle resting outside of a Goodwill store and posted it for sale on Facebook using his personal account.
On Monday, a Clermont Police Department officer responded to a theft complaint at Goodwill (1855 S Grand Hwy). The arrest affidavit says the victim estimated the stolen bike’s value at $350.
Around 1:00 pm she parked her bike outside Goodwill and went inside to peruse the aisles of used, but often useful stuff. The bike was not locked. She checked on it after some time, and saw the bike was still there.
Later, when she checked again, the bike was gone.
The suspect, later identified as 43-year-old Nathan Nasiatka, was seen on surveillance video walking into Goodwill for about 20 minutes, exiting, and walking away with the bicycle.
Officers found him at a Sunoco gas station a few hours later. Florida Mans often reside around gas stations and convenience stores.
By that time, he had already used his cell phone to post the bike for sale on Facebook. He used his personal account, under the name Nathan Nasiatka. The listing price was $20.
Nathan kept telling officers the bike was his. Then he said it was his sister’s.
The Florida man was arrested and charged with Larceny Grand Theft (less than 5k) and Dealing in Stolen Property.
Nathan’s originally from Ohio, and now lives in Clermont on a dirt road near the Turnpike.
This man I’m sure of it came to our home around 6-8 months ago at 2:15 in the morining,
It was pouring down the rain and he asked for ambulance . We called for him and they
Said looks like he is having a heart attack. Sheriff came as well and she asked him where her
Was coming from and he told her he just got out of jail and walked here from Tavares,
Our porch light was on so he thought we would help him.
Had to deal with this POS when he stole from my wife’s cousin he was living with in Winter Park… lucky he stopped breaking into the residence while I was down there… btw, the reason I was down there was because the cousin died “mysteriously” the day Nathan got out of prison for domestic violence.
I’ve dealt with this man years ago when he stole from the house he was living in (my relatives house) posting the stuff on line for sale. Someone also might want to ask him how the guy he was staying with in Winter Park died after Nat got out of jail for committing domestic violence on the guy.
This man does not live on a dirt road near the turnpike. He is homeless and spends most of his time around the Clermont Burger King. He has the opportunity to get help through New Beginners but he’d rather be a free loader and play on people’s feelings. I tried to help him and it was all for naught. He uses people for his own gain.
