A Montreal Barber Wants To Identify The Couple That Shattered His Window While Making Out
But not for the reason you might think.
The owners of a Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie barbershop are looking for the kissing couple that shattered their shop's window while making out — but not to get them in trouble.
The barbershop posted on Instagram that they want to identify the couple, the stars of a viral video, to help "end their love story [properly]" by gifting them a one-night hotel stay. But co-owner Mikey Rose told MTL Blog no one has come forward yet.
False alarm goes off as police are alerted
A Savvy Barbershop employee told MTL Blog that the shop's alarm went off at 6 a.m. on July 19 when the shop is usually closed.
He said the security camera sent the barbershop's owners a notification about a break-in while police contacted them. When they arrived on the scene and reviewed the security footage, they saw what had really happened.
"We were like, 'Oh my God, that's what happened," he said.
"There was nothing stolen or taken, and then we saw them just run away."
Barbershop offers to treat the couple to a hotel stay
Rose told MTL Blog that he offered to treat the couple to a one-night hotel stay "to make sure everyone is fine" but neither of the pair has reached out to him since the incident.
"We've kind of made our peace with it," Rose said.
"I think it's kind of cool to never know who they are, in a way [...] they stay this mystery couple that are just part of the history of our shop."
However, Rose said that if the couple comes forward, the offer for a one-night hotel stay still stands.
"Of course, hands down," he said. "We're men of our word," he laughed, calling the occurrence a "funny accident."
"We laughed it off, it was hilarious. At first, we think we got robbed, and then we find out it was a couple that crashed through the window. It was a relief," he said. "We laughed, the cops laughed, our wives laughed, and now everybody's laughing."
