After searching the gas station, deputies found a debit card with the name Lantz Kurtz sitting on the counter near a register.
Security camera footage showed a man entering the store from the back and stealing several items before unlocking the front door and walking out.

Police say they recognized Kurtz, 21, from a vehicle fire earlier in the night, and they found him at the disabled vehicle, where he admitted to breaking into the location and taking the items.
"So that I could come back later and pay for it," Kurtz told police when asked why he left his debit card behind. "Just so they knew my name, you know? Just in case I got picked up. I didn’t want to steal anything. You know, that’s against the law. I don’t know if they teach you guys that."

Kurtz was arrested and charged with armed burglary of a dwelling/structure and petit theft and was released on $10,000 bond.
"He must have really wanted those items to break into a closed convenience store to get them," Sheriff Rick Staly said. "Leaving a debit card behind does not absolve you from theft or committing a burglary."
A spokesperson for the Flagler County Sheriff's Office told Fox News Digital that Kurtz is alleged to have stolen dog food, antifreeze, cigarillos and an electronic tobacco device.
