The robber was described as a thin, white male, who was about 5 feet 9 inches tall, and had facial stubble and curly, dark brown hair. He wore a black zip-up hoodie and blue jeans.

That sounds just like me.

Fuck.

Guess i'll never stop at a Wawa.

I frequent this Wawa a lot so I am friendly with a few employees. One gas attendant ran over to me today and asked me if I knew anyone with a black one, then he told me why he asked. Crazy nonsense. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

ONLY problem:

When the 21-year-old worker handed over the money, the thief fled in a car, believed to be black or purple Subaru BRZ or a Scion FR-S.

unless it got repainted or wrapped or something

Could've been an asphalt as well as the crazy amount of metallic flake could make it appear somewhere between purple and black... now that i mention that i should probably stay clear of Howell until they catch that guy

The stupidity of using this uncommon of a car in committing a crime... it's mind-blowing. I'm guessing a partial plate and the description shouldn't make this guy too hard to find.

Or it could be pure genius since the 86 apparently has some sort of stealth technology built into it. I have only seen 1 other on the road in Atlanta since I got mine in May....

Wow. Why would someone use a 200hp car as a getaway car Lol. Good luck getting away from a trooper

Ehh, that's not an issue. Remember, it's not about outrunning the cars behind you, it's about outrunning a radio signal.

Holding up a Wawa? It was probably a Genesis coupe lol.

Spaceywilly · 02-20-2013, 12:29 PM

My coworker calls my WRB wrx purple all the time. I'm guessing it was a WRB BRZ, in which case the guy should be pretty easy to find. I actually got pulled over in my wrx once by like 8 cop cars because someone had just robbed a bank in a blue sedan and they thought it was me.

Which will not be an easy task in a 200hp car. Gotta lose the car behind you. Then outsmart the radio or helicopters if it gets to that extreme.

Nj turnpike & parkway is all straight wih very few slight turns so u can't use the 86 handling attribute to its advantage.
