"He took all the money, all the ones, and I could hear him stacking it in the bag he had," Imondi, 83, told WJAR.
After the robbery, the man ran out the back door, jumped over a fence and crossed some train tracks, according to the Cadillac Lounge's owner, Dick Shappy. He also told The Boston Globe about money being stolen about 2:45 p.m., shortly before the lounge opened.

Imondi said he didn't recognize a man shown in surveillance photos but believes whoever it was knew the layout of the lounge and which safe to target.
