He knocks on the road, checks the joint, then drops back later to relieve you of your items.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial; min-height: 15.0px"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">I discovered as I talked to the police who were looking for something and they described him. Two minutes later i saw him walking the streets.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial; min-height: 15.0px"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">Thick-set, white, mid forties, shortish, copped hair.

Green bucket, shorts, a flimsy ladder</span><br><br>What was it about this description that made him look like a 'rogue', in your opinion?<br><br>The green bucket maybe? Thick-set? The shorts? The flimsiness of the ladder? Age? White?<br><br>Just sounds like a bloke to me. Quite real, all in all.<br>
