'Butt Bandit' imprints his naked behind on windows wherever he strikes!

Melbourne, September 13 : A strange vandal has been nicknamed the "Butt Bandit" by people in a Nebraska town because he imprints his naked behind on windows wherever he strikes.

For more than a year, the man has been skipping from one business to another at night, leaving his strange mark.

He uses some lotion and petroleum jelly for pressing his groins.

"This is the weirdest case I've ever seen,'' the Daily Telegraph quoted police chief Ben McBride as saying.

Some residents of Valentine, a remote central US town of about 2,650 people, find some humour in the strange vandalism.

They, however, also cannot help but cringe when they find the vandal's marks.

"We were completely grossed out. One day I walked into the office and an employee said, 'Oh, my God, we've been struck!'" said Kalli Kieborz, who works in a downtown building.

The police chief says that he does not find it amusing.

"It's not funny. We're worried about the next step,'' McBride said.

He revealed that the incidents started occurring in spring 2007, when the window of a Methodist church was greased with an imprint.

Though McBride figured it was a high school prank, the church kept getting hit.

According to him, the bandit struck business after business last summer, and then such occurrences stopped over the fall and winter.

"People said he was done. Then he started back up this summer,'' he said.

McBride also revealed that virtually all the windows at a local hotel were imprinted during a particularly brazen session.

He says that no one has reported seeing the vandal in action, and that the only clue is a blurry picture of him caught by a surveillance camera at the middle school last year.

The video shows that the man was 1.8 metres tall or slightly taller, slender, and had a dark complexion.

McBride said that the man's dark hair was styled in a "1980s, feathered look''.
