[QUOTE]Police call this one of the strangest burglaries they've ever seen.
A man dressed in business attire stayed in a Tampa building for more than 18 hours, going from office to office, taking computer supplies, according to police.
He even took a business suit.
"I just find it bizarre that nobody saw this guy," Officer Harry Augello from Tampa Police District One told us. "Probably took a nap, had a snack [when he was in there.] Nobody noticed him."
Nobody noticed him because he fit right in with other business professionals.
The burglary happened back on March 1st. The man took a cab to 2002 North Lois in Tampa to Westwood Center, an eight-story office building near International Plaza.
And he was caught on tape!
"We talked with the HR people, the managers, showed them the pictures, I have no idea who this is. I've never seen him before. That's what I find bizarre," Office Augello told us.
He stayed all night and all day and even slept in an office. Then, he left the next day.
"He's carrying a gym bag, an overnight bag... had his jammies and dinner probably," Officer Augello chuckled.
The man is seen on video walking down the hallway and even looks at the camera. He is under six feeet tall and in his mid-thirties to mid-forties.
Officer Augello said, "You could see him when he grabbed the door handles, that he doesn't leave forensics behind. He's smart. He's done it before."
One of the strangest things about this case is that the mystery man took a cab to and from the crime scene, and you would think this would make it easier to track him down. But, cabs don't keep a record of their drop-offs, only their pick ups. And, they believe this man was coming from Pinellas or Pasco County.
The question remains: Who is this guy?
From the video, police believe he could be Hispanic or African-American. His nose is also a distinguishing factor. They know someone will recognize him.[/QUOTE]

Not racist, but if he was black, they would have hauled him out in a heartbeat, just because no one expects to see a black person wearing a suit.

Haha! I use to live in Tampa! It's nothing new down there. We had a guy throw a baby out the window on the highway. So many stupid people down there it's amazing the city isn't one big warzone.

Actually, blacks in Tampa, are the majority and treated better than most. (No racism intended)
None of them noticed he was unplugging shit and messing with computers throughout the office? Really?

This pretty sums it up, this guy is a genius

Slightly related: When my mate got a job in some IT department last summer he would just steal shit from them all the time. One time he just walked about with a box full of 320gb hard drives and gave them out to people he knew. I think he also has MS Office on about 10 disks and a shitload of RAM. I think they knew, they just didn't care cause they literally had tons of the shit.

The bigoted rules of society don't count during a zombie apocalypse.

Tampa people are reeeeeallllly stupid..I mean they make retards look smart. It's sad.
I wonder how much money he's getting from the stuff he stole... given how long he took, it might not be worth the hourly wage.

Really? I used to live there too about 3, 4 yeards ago. That sounds more like Ybor lol
I've always wondered if it'd be possible to just hang around in random offices wearing a suit, looking busy, without getting kicked out.
I guess you could say he was [i]Anonymous[/i].

Ybor just as bad. It's sad really, all the bad people really make it hard to see the pure awesomeness of Tampa.

You are racist.
Even though he is a criminal, I'm still somewhat impressed with this.

What?

A good rule to remember is that if you have to start a sentence with "not racist", you're going to be racist.
