The crime rate on our block went through the roof last night. At about 8:30, when I was coming home from dinner, I noticed more than the usual number of rubber neckers hanging out in front of the Chelsea. Their attention was focused on Candy World directly across the street where the cops were bringing out a wanna be bad guy.
From across the way I spied Sayeed, who works at the neighboring Pita Hut, gesturing wildly and pacing back and forth. So I walked across the street to find out what was going on. According to eye-witness Sayeed, the wanna be bad guy tried to rob Candy World, but the quick thinking store clerk escaped and locked him inside of the store. He was trying to break out of Candy World when the cops arrived.
I got a look at the guy after he had been placed in an ambulance. In answer to your question, yes, the guy was overweight. Not obese, but he had probably spent quite a bit of time casing those candy stores.
