Are Speedway's a 24hr store? The only thing that caught my eye was the fact they said the store was closing for the night.Nothing else surprises me about this story. One more question Is this guy related to the "Duct tape bandit"?

This has got to be so hilarious, it truly is. You get a guy that just walks into a convenience store without any kind of disguise, he can clearly be seen, has a smile on his face. Now everyone knows who this guy is. O.K. Now, when he get's arrested, the police needs to go where he lives and investigate his house because I can almost guarantee he must be making meth because a person who robs a store without any kind of disguise tells me he must be on something to do this. I mean just look at the guy, smile on his face? He has to be on something. Makes me wonder if he wants to get caught to go to jail. Does he want to go to jail? A person who robs without a disguise? What kind of message does that get across? Is jail that great? Does he think he will get away with this? Just like the military, go awal and you'll get caught. Can run away from a robbery.
