Old-fashioned robbers
A somewhat confusing robbery reported by Spokane-News. The suspects were initially described as a male and female, but the pictures show one tall male in typical male clothing and another smaller male wearing a softer Carhart coat. He's not trying to dress as a woman, he just doesn't fit the usual fashion.
One commenter who worked at the store had noticed the suspect car parked every day for a week, often occupied. He didn't report it because it's not salient, and he's right. In Spokane EVERYBODY sits in their cars ALL THE TIME. I've never figured out why.
So these suspects were casing the joint, which is an obsolete old-fashioned habit. Robbers used to do research and rehearsal. In the meth era, all actions are twitchy and random and purposeless, including robbers and CEOs and national presidents.
Are these robbers the cutting edge of a return to PURPOSEFUL AND CAREFUL action? I hope so.
