The driver of a stolen car put a hole in the door at Mike's Hole in the Wall in North Chattanooga early Wednesday morning during a burglary attempt, according to police.
There were no arrests or leads on a suspect in the break-in as of Wednesday afternoon, Chattanooga Assistant Chief Jerri Sutton said in an email.
Video from inside the Cherokee Boulevard restaurant and bar shows an Audi sedan backing straight into the building's glass doors around 4:45 a.m., shattering them.

The driver then tried to take money from the ATM inside, but was unsuccessful, according to Sutton.
He then stole $460 from the bar registers, general manager Chandler Nicholson said in a phone call.
To commemorate the incident, the bar at Mike's is now serving a new shot, dubbed the A-460 in a nod to the Audi and the amount of money stolen. It costs $4.60.
"In humble commemoration of the world's worst robbery attempt," Nicholson said.
A maintenance worker found the shattered doors when coming into work Wednesday morning, Nicholson said.
Police looked at surveillance footage and identified the car as stolen, Nicholson said.

A post on Mike's Facebook page later Wednesday morning announced the restaurant was still open and noted the break-in was captured on five cameras.
By Wednesday afternoon, the doors had already been replaced, Nicholson said. Chattanooga police estimated the cost of the damage will be around $4,000, but Nicholson said that depends on insurance payments.
