Naked man steals Mount Isa local's KFC zinger box from his hands

But that is exactly what happened when Mount Isa local Anthony walked out of KFC with his favourite zinger box on Wednesday December 4.

Anthony (who preferred we did not use his surname) said after a long day's work he was craving a zinger box for dinner around seven.

"The service was lovely, then I walk out while replying to a mate on my phone with my zinger box in my other hand," Anthony said.

"All of a sudden my zinger box gets snatched and I look up and someone's running away with it bare assed, I couldn't believe it."

Anthony said he stood still for what felt like a few minutes in utter disbelief as a naked man ran away with his food.

"I have this memory of a bloke with a tattoo on his backside running away with my chicken," he said.

Anthony eventually returned to KFC and purchased another zinger box.
