A woman trying to dine and dash at a B.C. restaurant was caught on video surveillance as she tried to escape, but ended up falling through the ceiling instead.

The failed attempt was posted to Twitter today (Oct. 29) by Burnaby RCMP, who say the woman was unsuccessful at trying to skip out on paying her bill. 

"She crawled above the kitchen ceiling from the washroom. Luckily she wasn't hurt when she fell through the ceiling tiles and landed right in front of our Burnaby frontline officers," says the tweet.

Burnaby Mounties poked fun at the situation by using the hashtags #Gravity and #Foundyou. (And they followed up with a tweet acknowledging "ceiling" was misspelled, too.)
