Let's Play: 'Name That Bandit' !

He's just dying for some snappy kinda tag line.

Woman walking dog has poop bag snatched
San Diego police searching for gunman; 'Misty' unharmed

SAN DIEGO - The hunt is on for a different kind of burglar.

Police in San Diego are searching for a gunman who swiped a bag of poop from a woman out walking her dog.

The woman told police that she was out walking her dog, Misty, on Monday night when a man in his 20s ran up behind her and grabbed the bag she was holding.

When the gunman discovered what was in it, he threw it down in disgust, pointed his gun at the 32-year-old woman and demanded money, San Diego police detective Gary Hassen said.

He then aimed his .22-caliber semiautomatic at Misty and pulled the trigger twice but the gun didn't fire, Hassen said.

The robber ran to a waiting small, silver car and fled the scene, police said.

He's obviously a sore sport as well.

I'm sure Misty was scared shitless when the guy pointed the gun at her, or she would have been had she not just rendered herself shitless a few moments before...

Fortunately, the crime scene evidence was already bagged.

I hear the thief got the sack, though.

Obviously he can't maintain his weapon for shit. Plus he showed he's got shit for brains by bringing a .22 to a hold-up.

So this was robbery #2 for him that day, I assume?

Bet he thought he got the scoop on the other thieves....

He was heard to whistle "Urine the money" as he hopped into the car...

As those in the flush often do.

So this was robbery #2...?

Or maybe it was the turd...

The dog's name was Misty? Then the bandit must have been Dr. Forrester. "Oh, poopie!"

His next stop was to a drugstore to steal matches. Then, tomorrow, he was going to go up to his principal's front door and... oh, man, what a classic!

And the woman was heard to say "Slay Misty for me..."

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at March 31, 2005 05:53 PM

Said the robber to the owner of Misty:

"NO SHIT!"

Posted by: The Real JeffS at April 1, 2005 12:26 AM

And then he warbled, "I get misty over you..."
