See [here](http://www.pinktentacle.com/2008/02/police-sketch-faceless-bank-robber-thailand/). 😃 “This sketch is based on the recollections of eyewitnesses, who say the suspect wore a motorcycle helmet at the time of the robbery.”

The man in this police artist’s sketch robbed a bank in Bangkok several weeks ago. If anyone can identify him, I’m sure there’s a reward involved. I know that I myself shall be keeping a sharp eye out .

I think I saw this guy on my way home tonight. Am I supposed to call the Police, or the Power Rangers?

Who knew **The Blank** was still around? Dick Tracy stopped chasing him in 1938:

Maybe it’s his grandson, trying to carry on the family business?

It would be funny if they catch the guy, and his face really does look like that.

Damn it that was me on the way home yesterday. I’d better hide, anyone got a spare room?
