It's not Halloween yet, but that didn't stop a man from donning a fake moustache before robbing a Walgreens in Menlo Park.
The man walked into the Santa Cruz Avenue store around 7:45 p.m. on Friday night, Oct. 19, and demanded money from a manager, according to police. After stuffing cash into a paper bag, he fled through the rear door. The robbery involved no weapon, witnesses said, and no one was hurt.
Police have yet to identify the suspect, described as a white male in his 40s with short dark hair, standing nearly 6 feet tall.
He wore a light hooded sweatshirt, green military-style jacket and dark pants. Completing the outfit were a blue baseball cap with multi-colored gloves, and of course, a moustache described in the report as "fake and costume like."

This sounds like Women's Wear Daily --
"Completing the outfit were a blue baseball cap with multi-colored gloves."
Do we give his style sense a thumbs up or a thumbs down?

I say "thumbs up" to his ensemble, though a burning question remains: what color were his shoes?!
