That's that. That's what happened.

Morning Everybody! Story time!

So last night me and the bear are heading from his place to the grocery store just down the street. Everything goes smoothly, get some steak 'ums, and veggies then go to check out - Oops! Harry forgot his wallet.

Harry runs back to his place to grab said wallet while I wait at the store. In the time, between his place and the store he runs into a very strange man. He's got his hoodie pulled up and draw-stringed close so his face is completely covered ( by the shittiest mask ever ) and he's got plastic gloves on. Like, the type you'd wear to dye your hair, or operate on a person.

Creepy.

He cruises Harry and almost shoulder checks him. Harry being not in the best mood right now, mean mugs him and continues on his way. This guy tries to follow Harry and then gives up and seems like he's targeting others now.

Creepy.

Harry comes back to the store, pays, and we head out. We run into some people I know outside the store and we stop for a second for pleasantries // warning about said plastic-handed dude. Head back to Harry's.

Then we spot the creep.

"Holy shit," I think, "He's right there." Harry's already pulling out his phone to call the cops cause to look at this guy, he is suspicious as fuck. The description was dead on, this guy was about 5'8" - 5'9", his face completely covered by his hoodie, the opening closed around his face like a butthole of criminal intent, and wearing these almost surgical plastic gloves. The gloves freaked me out more then anything else. Everything else about this guys demeanor said, "Noob criminal." the gloves sent it over the edge into "Possibly schizophrenic."

We watch him from across the street, he's shifting back and forth until he goes into the nearest building, a bakery. He speaks to the woman working inside, gestures towards her, and then turns and leaves walking around the corner quickly.

Harry runs into the bakery and asks them what Creepy guy just said. He had asked them to open the register, he tried to rob them.

Call the police and just a min later an unmarked cop car pulls up out of nowhere ( these guys must have been in the area because I've never seen cops respond this quickly ), asks us where he went and what he looks like.

"Hoodie, wearing a cap now, plastic gloves, white guy!"

They peel off into the alley and head in his direction.

I don't know yet if they caught the guy. And honestly, the way he was acting...he was desperate. I don't know what his situation was, if he needed money for food or drugs but ultimately he was in a position that he was desperate enough to try and rob people. 

He didn't have a proper mask, just a make shift one with his hood // cap which I saw later when he was escaping round the corner. His gloves were disposable, and seemed like the choice of someone mostly concerned with leaving finger prints. He wasn't wearing heavy leather gloves, something that would suggest that not only is he covering his tracks but he also has no problem getting physical. This guy didn't want a fight, he just wanted a quick fix and to get away cleanly. 

So I don't know, there's no real clean cut way to end this. That's that. That's what happened. 

That was weird.
