You may have seen the so-called “duct tape bandit,” who tried robbing a liquor store disguised by a ton of duct tape. Police have shown pictures of a suspect in the “mask,” but he denies it.
Using tape was brilliant. You want a mask that comes off quickly for a getaway, and this one takes only about two hours to unwrap, leaving a semi-permanent sticky residue on your face. You also want comfort, and what feels better in the August heat than enough tape to cover the Taj Mahal?
Since this guy has chosen the sticky route, he may want to consider variations next time: a pillow full of feathers and a tube of Elmer’s, facial features from a deluxe Mr. Potato Head kit, or maybe 400 bumper stickers from Six Flags. Yes. “The Bumper Sticker Bandit” has a certain cachet… Lindsay Claiborn reports:

The only thing that would make this story funnier is if he had used clear packing tape instead. What a loser. I hope for his sake that he was bald and had no facial hair.
