“Subway Bandit” Arrested

WBTV:

FORT MILL, SC (WBTV) - Officials in York County have arrested a Fort Mill man who they are calling the “Subway Bandit” and he is wanted as a suspect in 17 burglaries throughout York County.

[…]

The sheriff’s office says he is wanted for 17 burglaries in and around York County including the following locations:

• Subway, 302 Springcrest Drive, Fort Mill,
• Subway, 3160 Highway 21, Fort Mill,
• Subway, 2349 Cherry Road, Rock Hill,
• Subway, 572 John Ross Parkway, Rock Hill,
• Subway, 119 South Herlong, Rock Hill

This is like a bad episode of Batman. Really, this just seems stupid to me. He doesn’t even rob a string of banks, he robs Subways. I can’t imagine how he got away with seventeen burglaries, it seems obvious to me where one should look for the thief.

How much easier could it be to catch a burglar?

Policeman: Listen, Chief, another Subway was robbed last night.

Chief: Oh! that bandit gets us every time. He’s so unpredictable! Did you find any clues as to where he might strike next?

Policeman: No…but I think I know where.

Chief: If we wanted to be led by a hunch, we’d have hired Quasimodo; now get back to work and look for clues! The bandit could be anywhere in town.

Policeman: Whatever you say, Chief… Whatever.

I just don’t understand how he got away with three burglaries, much less seventeen. This all just seems ridiculous.
