Shopping Mall Bandit

How does he choose his victim? The police are baffled. Six cases. Six different women. One old, one extremely young, the others 33, 45, 68 and 84. Most of these guys have a type. This one doesn’t. They are a variety of ethnic groups, different hair color. Different body types, one with tattoos. The shopping mall bandit has struck again. Takes all of their shopping bags, their cell phones, their jewelry and their cars. This time he has accidentally taken a 93 year-old with Alzheimer’s who was taking a nap. He dumped him off at a gas station. So now they know three things about the guy. He is a thief, he does not use local pawn shops and he has a heart.

(chuckle) ...and he also hates women! He sees them as prey.

True enough, but did you notice he does not hurt them?
