Dodgy date

An unnamed teenager was arrested on Wednesday for stealing the wallet of a 46-year-old company employee. But this was no ordinary theft, as the incident occurred when the two met for a date. And it was no ordinary date either, as the youngster was a 16-year-old boy in a miniskirt trying to pass himself off as a woman.

How the man and the miniskirt wearing youth planned the date wasn’t disclosed, but theft was the only thing on the boy’s mind. In cahoots with another male, he demanded a fee upon meeting his date, and when the man handed over his wallet the young chap promptly ran away. Although presumably not very quickly considering what he was wearing.

This was when the accomplice stepped in. Feigning innocence, he stopped the man from giving immediate chase and asked what was wrong. After a brief explanation, the two then searched for the boy, but the planned interference had stalled the man long enough to allow his date to demurely flee the scene.

All in all a relatively interesting story, but thankfully one promoted to memorable by a police statement. As the investigating officer’s comment on the incident was, “Men don’t realize when other men dress up as girls.”

A gentleman who perhaps knows more than he’s prepared to give away…
