The Story

On Jul-06-2015, a still unknown individual decided to rob a Dunkin’ Donuts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. After pacing around outside the store, the man gathered up his courage, put on his disguise, and entered.

Some people would use a ski mask, sunglasses, etc… but this person thought outside the box. This person chose a clear plastic bag and trusted it with his entire future. Not tinted. Not opaque. Not even frosted. Just clear.

Just before the “disguise” is used.

Once inside, he took out a knife and grabbed a cash box while employees and cameras watched. In fact, the bag quickly became bored with the assignment and fell off. This revealed his face even more clearly than before, just in case anyone missed it the first time.

As far as I could find, the Philadelphia Police Department still hasn’t solved this one, so take a peek at the picture and see if it’s someone you know!

Google Maps screenshot of the location

This location is actually still open, at least according to the Dunkin’ Donuts website. I gotta say, Philadelphia has a lot of Dunkin’ Donuts! Of course, Pennsylvania has a total of 669 locations and Indiana only has 134, so there’s that too.

Reactions

We’ve read about someone who tried to deceive authorities with a deceptively labeled bag, but this is on a different level, even more so because it doesn’t appear to be solved.

Somewhere, a paper bag is feeling very disrespected.

Next time he should try watching a YouTube tutorial.

Finally, a disguise for people allergic to anonymity.

I don’t see a Ziploc sponsorship coming in his near future.
