Is Wearing Boxers on Your Head the New Thing for the Stylish Criminal?

The Vegas Valley has added a new criminal to its oddball collection: The Boxer Bandit (video available at NBC News 3). The man robbed 4 convenience stores in east Henderson at gunpoint while wearing plaid [hopefully clean] boxers on his head and looking out the pee[p] hole.

While we would normally applaud the robber's unique style (see naked bus-jacker), it turns out the Henderson Boxer Bandit is merely following the new stylish trend in crime: wearing underwear over your face.

The trend setter appears to have been a Pensacola, Florida criminal, who robbed a convenience store in October 2007 with boxers over his head. (CBS-Pensacola). The trend then spread north to Boston, Massachusetts where a man started robbing stores at knife point while wearing white boxers over his head (ABC-Boston). Now the stylish look appears to have spread west. We can only hope it catches on with the same popularity as prison tattoos.
