A copycat crook goes on a string of robberies that mirror famous movies:
a movie? 😉
Growing up grandma had this saying, “believe half of what you see and even less of what you hear.” Lately, the local news has been filled with wild stories about a crime spree that has law enforcement stumped. Someone has been robbing the wealthy in our town causing Johnny Law to scratch his head. So far, the CRIME scenes have given the cops a CINEMAtic nightmare.
It took showing the photos on the news for someone to figure it out. At the first house was a note; “MIME! All mime!” Cops were convinced someone couldn’t spell mine.
Pieces of black and white fabric were everywhere. Jail jumper colors. Mirrors in the homes were streaked with white paint, make-up? Who knew?
At the second house, the CLUE was a battered top hat with a red flower coming out of it. Locals found the stories ENTERTAINing. Homeowners were trying to PREDICT who would be next.
Cops found a pair of white gloves and another note; “DETECT this.” What’s the PATTERN? Why? Police were begging for a MOTIVE. Other than the obvious.
This thief was gaining local FAME. Crime scenes were turning into a ART SHOWs. A 3 ring circus. Citizens would arrive at the crime scenes dressed like who the envisioned the criminal being. How to CATCH this master of DISGUISE?
At house number 5 the note read, “1976!” Again the police were baffled. A birthday? An anniversary? The DIRECTOR of the local t.v. station laid out all the clues in a special report. Who was this criminal master mime?
No one could believe it. Grandma would be proud.
