Robin Hood of Espresso

So I’m in the Starbucks queue this morning and it seemed just like every other day until this guy walks in. He was wearing a very nice suit, had great hair and he strolled up to the shelves where they sell stuff and he picks up an espresso machine and bolts out the door! Sirens are blaring outside from fire trucks and there are people everywhere and he is flat-out running down Burrard Street with a frickin’ espresso machine in his arms with the chord flying behind him. Most customers stood there stunned, I of course was laughing and 2 of the staff attempted to run after the guy. They of course didn’t catch him because everyone walking down Burrard St. at 8am is wearing a nice suit but really, how many of them were carrying espresso machines? Personally, I would have gone for the funky Italian orange machine or even the hella kewl Saeco myself but he chose the cheap-o Krups espresso machine *shakes head*

Perhaps the guy:

a) Had a bet he could steal a starbucks coffee machine

b) Was Svend Robinson

why is the fact that he had nice hair important to the story?

Adds to his allure :P But you Drain are a good lookin' fella sans hair it's just that this guy had like a flowing mane of it so it was a distraction in his robbery.
