The Roofman | Lived in Toys R Us for a Year
Things I Learned Last Night - Podcast tekijän mukaan Jaron Myers and Tim Stone - Tiistaisin
In the late 1990s, a man named Jeffrey Allen Manchester earned a strange nickname: the Roofman. His crime spree would go down as one of the most unusual and oddly polite series of robberies in American history. What started with a few break-ins quickly turned into a coast-to-coast pattern of fast-food heists, most often targeting McDonald’s restaurants. The Roofman’s method was simple but clever. He would climb onto the roof of a McDonald’s near closing time, cut a hole in the ceiling, and wait quietly until the employees locked up. Then, he’d drop in through the roof, gun in hand, and demand the cash. But unlike most robbers, the Roofman had manners. The Roofman’s tale is one of contradiction: a polite thief, a robber who apologized, and a fugitive who built a home in a toy store. His story reminds us that truth can be stranger and more fascinating than fiction.
