THE MAXIPAD BANDIT

A guy broke into an Apple Valley, California auto-parts store Tuesday and stole a bunch of stuff. The crime was caught on surveillance video. The camera caught the suspect wearing, as a clever disguise, a white maxipad over his eyes, like a Lone Ranger mask. “Right away everybody started saying we should call this guy the Maxipad Bandit,” said store owner Mark Wedell. Because the video was so clear – and because police say they’ve dealt with the suspect before – he was quickly tracked down and arrested. He’s been identified as Gary Victor, 51. Police believe he was under the influence of something.
* Oh, bloody hell.
* This story is so absorbing.
* He was just trying to go with the flow.
* At least he didn’t let the stupid mask cramp his style.
* Ironically, the maxipad did not give him enough protection.
* At first he tried tampons, but they kept poking him in the eyes.
* Police say they can hold him, but only for 21 days.
* He wore a maxipad over his eyes like a Lone Ranger mask and yet so very, very different.
* This is especially pathetic when you consider that all the stores are filed with masks right now.
* The clear video brings up a good point: wait till security cameras start going high def. That’s going to make it easy.
* Gary Victor? Usually it’s “To the victor go the spoils” but not this time.
* Quite a nickname – The Maxipad Bandit. But don’t worry, I’m sure the other inmates would never tease you about something like that.
* The judge should give him time in months just for a laugh.
