Besides Pizza Rat, we've also seen Churro Rats, Escalator Rat, Milkshake Squirrel and many other rodents take the internet by storm.
Unfortunately for our friend in Crown Heights this week, he appears to have scurried away from the scene of his crime while leaving his pizza behind.
Run fast, friend, and may there be a more easily attained pizza in your future.
We've reached out to Conner for more info about her video, and we'll update this story if we hear back.
