Accidents

At times the work of the Brown Bandit is hard to determine. Accident do happen and distinguishing the differences can be difficult. Look at the following examples:

This is clearly the work of the Brown Bandit. As you can see there is fecal matter spread over a large area surrounding the toilet. There is also wads of soiled toilet paper and paper towel scattered around the room. This is clearly intentional and actually seems to one of the BB better days as far as solidity of the BMs are concerned. 

This image is more complicated and could possibly be an accident. As you can see there is shit in the toilet, but it also surround the outside and is partially on the lip. I could see someone suffering from explosive diarrhea just not making it in time and spilling on the floor. The raised toilet seat makes this seem intentional, but because these are unisex bathrooms it is entirely possible that a women ran into the bathroom and dropped her pants before realizing the toilet seat was up. We will never know if this was an accident or not, we can only speculate.

Who is the Brown Bandit?

For over a year my co-workers and I have been tracking a deviant we have dubbed, "The Brown Bandit." It all started when we would occasionally come across a bathroom cloaked in fecal matter. Some of us found this particularly hilarious and started documenting the sightings with our camera phones.

I work in a large office building with quite a few single unisex bathrooms. Unfortunately the BB limits his/her defecation to these bathrooms, making it impossible to tell whether it is a her or she - although we speculate it is a male.

The Brown Bandit does not limit himself to the bathrooms. His distinctive mark has been found in parking structures around the building and even smeared down the handrail in a stairwell. As funny as it may seem to us, the housekeeping staff is stuck with the crappy duty of cleaning the mess up. It is because of this, that the hunt for The Brown Bandit must go on!

 Judging by the distance from the toilet, this is most likely a mark of the Bandit.
