Man charged, accused of being 'Spa Bandit'
It’s amazing what I learn by checking out the Milwaukee papers…To think there is such an unusual criminal in my own neighborhood. I don’t think I know him. I can’t recall running into anyone who smelled that good or was that exquisitely smooth and exfoliated.

Mark Twain said, “There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it.” This dude gets an F. And not for "Fragrant."

Lake Bluff, Ill. - The so-called Spa Bandit is now feeling the heat in another way.
Marshall G. Wolbers, 56, of Lake Bluff, Ill., was charged with theft of services after being accused of failing to pay for pedicures and other spa treatments in Illinois and Wisconsin, police said.
He was arrested over the weekend near a train station.
"He ran away from the officers across a parking lot and tried to get into a taxi," Deputy Police Chief David Belmonte said. "That's when he was apprehended."
Authorities said the man received a number of services in at least 20 spas in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin since last March and left without paying the bill.
He is accused of stealing nearly $1,000 over the past year in body waxings, massages, haircuts, facials, sea salt body scrubs, tangerine body quenches, manicures and pedicures, authorities said.

Whatever a tangerine body quench is, it must be really pleasant if it drives people to break the law. And I thought wrestling with vanity issues meant fighting the urge to take that extra look in the mirror in the morning. (You know, after ascertaining that I am not leaving the house with mismatched earrings, my hair standing on end or my shirt inside out.)
