Mysterious thief giving sleepless nights to residents of Doha locality

DOHA: A manhunt is on for a mysterious thief who has been giving sleepless nights to residents of a locality on the outskirts of Doha.

What is unusual about the “thief” is that he doesn’t steal anything from the houses that he sneaks into, Al Sharq reported. This has led to suspicions that he is mentally not sound. Eyewitnesses have described the man as short, wearing black clothes that cover his whole body, including the face.

The police have launched a manhunt but there is no trace of him so far, apart from eyewitness accounts. The suspect has been described as an expert in climbing walls who can move very fast from one house to another.

“I saw him running away from a house and I was about to catch him, then he vanished,” said

a national.

A woman residing in the area had a more surprising story to tell. She claimed she had seen the suspect inside her house, while she was performing prayers.

“He stood close to my children. I was so frightened that I could not move. I tried to scream but my voice was not coming out. Then he vanished,” said the woman.

She claimed she called the police immediately and told them that she had seen a strange creature, covered fully in black. But all residents in the area don’t readily believe such stories. Ghost theories are also spreading as the suspect remains elusive.

To protect themselves from a possible attack by the “thief”, people are standing guard at their house during the night, said the daily. Residents of the area are awaiting an early end to the whole thing, which has been troubling them for about a week.

And of course the people who think it's a ghost or who are standing guard outside their house all night are completely mentally sound.

"suspicions that he is mentally unsound". that really doesn't narrow it down.

Two things

"Ghost theories are also spreading as the suspect remains elusive."

Really? In this day and age?

"To protect themselves from a possible attack by the “thief”, people are standing guard at their house during the night"

I believe there a better and less demanding forms of security available on the market.

God forbid anyone every went on a full-on proper crime spree in Doha! There'd be pandemonium in the streets as people panicked about what to do.

On three occasions I've seen strange lights near Landmark. Maybe these creatures are observing us? I mean think about it, what else could it be? When they chase and disappear they have to be beamed up to the ship.

If he was wearing a lungi and escaped on a bicyle, then it must have been Paaju !

If he flew out of the window, then it was surely Dracula looking for fresh blood and not materials to steal..
