Well now, here’s something you just don’t see every day. From Yahoo/AP…

A ninja, or at least someone dressed like one, is lurking in the shadows of Palm Beach County.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office says a heavyset man with a visible potbelly and a ninja costume unsuccessfully tried to steal two different ATMs over the past two weeks.

Security video from the automated teller machines showed the unidentified man dressed in a black ninja outfit with a hood that showed only his eyes.

Authorities say the first attempt was made at a bank on Dec. 29 and the second at a Walgreens on Tuesday. Authorities did not say how the man tried to steal the machines.

You know what the best part about that is? The part where it says; “A ninja, or at least someone dressed like one”. They are keeping their options open. It just might be a genuine real ninja waddling around Palm Beach County trying to nick ATMs, not just some wide load in a ninja suit. Like the official, South Florida, ninja dojo that specializes in ATM theft, has no problem with accepting portly aspirants. Maybe it’s some kind of final exam.

Become one with your enemy, you must think like an ATM, Ninja…
