SAN DIEGO - The hunt is on for a different kind of burglar.

Police in San Diego are searching for a gunman who swiped a bag of poop from a woman out walking her dog.

The woman told police that she was out walking her dog, Misty, on Monday night when a man in his 20s ran up behind her and grabbed the bag she was holding.

When the gunman discovered what was in it, he threw it down in disgust, pointed his gun at the 32-year-old woman and demanded money, San Diego police detective Gary Hassen said.

He then aimed his .22-caliber semiautomatic at Misty and pulled the trigger twice but the gun didn't fire, Hassen said.

The robber ran to a waiting small, silver car and fled the scene, police said.

The burglar works for Felos. It's part of some bizarre, occult ritual.

I wonder if this guy was too cheap to go to:

See what poor firearms maintenance will get ya?

What did he think he was stealing to begin with, lunch? Do normal people walk around with bags of money, taking their funds for a walk?

Undoubtedly a part of the Democrat base.

Some days I guess it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

Hidey-ho!

Wassup with the dog? If that guy pulled a stunt like that when my wife was walking the dogs he'd be picking up his ass off the sidewalk.

And here I used to feel perfectly safe when I went out for a walk with a plastic bag full of my cash.

The countryside is fraught with marauders....

Well, let's see. The dog's name is "Misty." If the dog was named "Brutus" I'd see your point :)
