You know, if you're going to be a disgusting groper of girls on the street, you don't have to lose your manners.
Take the brazen and perverted chap who was walking with a limp near South Street and Paramount Boulevard in Long Beach this summer. He ended each grab of nubile flesh with a polite, “Thank you.”
Police do wish he would have stuck around for a “you're welcome” so surveillance cameras could have got a better shot of him.

Alas, since he would follow his thanks by running off–with that limp–all cops have to go on is surveillance videos and photos like the one here.
He is responsible for at least seven sexual assaults on young girls at apartment complexes near that intersection between July 15 and Aug. 5, according to police. It was always the same m.o.: approach the girls from behind, grope and dart off.
He is described as a 16- to 22-year-old African American who stands 5 feet 3 to 5 feet 5, 140-160 pounds with shaved or short hair. And, yes, the fellow is pigeon toed and walks with a limp. And bucket full of gratitude, apparently.
