Buffalo Police are warning men about a 200-pound woman known as the “Hugging Bandit,” who embraces men coming out of bars drunk and leaves them wallet-less. Dozens of men say they have been victims. Police say others are too embarrassed to admit it.
The Hugging Bandit has been striking for about the past decade, typically between 2 and 4 a.m. She uses the credit cards she steals from her victims within hours of her caper.

“As far as I can tell, she waits until it’s late at night and these guys coming out of the bars are tipsy,” Detective Sgt. Tom Donovan said. “They’re either going to their car or going to the hot dog vendor … She makes sure they’re rip-roaring drunk.”
Officers believe she is a 48-year-old Buffalo woman they have arrested 17 times between 1998 and 2005 for similar schemes, as well as prostitution and criminal possession of stolen property.

The women in Buffalo are really rough around the edges. Very few act like females.

“couple seven sixteen kings on the flow, the ciar from empire shiar be B-Lo”
That is crazy, something like that happened to someone I knew, but she slept with him, luckily he only had $60 dollars stolen. I couldn’t stop laughing at his story.
