YouTube

Another day, another person disguised as a fictional character commits a crime. The other day, Gumby was busted for trying to rob a 7-11 and now, Darth Vader has robbed a gas station and taking off on a bike. Guess they never did finish that second Death Star.

Criminals have an obsession with robbing, stealing and looting dressed as popular fictional characters. While the crimes are rather interesting, the choice of character is pretty ho-hum. Why always the marquee names? Why not liven things up with a few supporting characters doing the dirty deeds?
