An 18-year-old Florida girl thought that she had met a cute Italian hunk at a party.
She was thrilled when he asked her out on a lunch date to the local Applebees.
She was significantly less thrilled when it turned out that his friend was robbing her house of over $5,000 worth of electronics while they were on their less-than-stellar date.

When the girl, who has not been identified, returned home from the lunch, she found her home broken into and immediately contacted police.
She said the young man had told her that his name was Florenciano Valentino and that he had just moved from New York to Coral Springs, Florida two months ago.
The first true warning sign came when he was late for their lunch date on February 25.
The reason: not bad traffic or that he spend too much time primping. Instead, he and a friend had hidden in a car and waited outside her home to watch her leave.

Security video then shows Valentino canvassing the house, knocking on the door to see if anyone else was in the building and then running to the back of the house.
He left, but then his friend returned a short while later in the same car and proceeded to break into the girl’s bedroom window before opening the garage door and parking his car inside to allow for easy loading.

Throughout the date, Valentino was constantly using the girl’s iPhone to talk to his friend while he robbed her of a big-screen television, an iPad, and a computer.
To finish off an already-lousy date, the young man ditched her not only to pay the bill but having stolen her iPhone as well.
Police are still trying to identify the young lothario, and given the intricacy of the crime, they believe the duplicitous pair may be targeting young women throughout South Florida.
