Oooh, and not so clever. Guy trying to steal gas by siphon burns himself when he uses a lighter to see how much he has.

OK never mind then. But I have no idea what "Inside Man" is and it seems a lot of other people don't either. Lol.

" The suspect is described as a white man in his 20s, between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-10, wearing a dark blue shirt, jean shorts and a mask."

...and is not one of the other 12 from Craigslist who showed up just like him...and that was before he disrobed and floated down the river.
Wow sounds like they are hot on his trail.

+1

Inside man was a great film. Such a simple yet effective way to do commit a lot of crimes. I would have been suspicous about the "blue shirt" thing especially though.
