Enjoy the Heist Man here, because he's in limbo, elsewhere. I believe his third story is about to be rejected for the second time.
Here in the San Francisco Bay Area back in the 90's and into this century, we had jewel couriers getting robbed left and right as they got out of their cars, or just before they entered buildings. It was done mostly by Colombian gangs, or at least that is what the papers speculated.
So I thought up a character who goes wherever the merchandise tempts and takes him. I was lazy with names at that point and a lightbulb went off over my head when a clip of Dustin Hoffman doing a certain Eugene O'Neill play, gave way to the name "Heist Man." Of course knowing my lack of theater knowledge and the fact that the TV was muted, it was probably him doing "Death of A Salesman."
At any rate, here is the Heist Man as he first appeared in "$8,400 Per Carat"

Paul,
Thanks and he'll find a home, later than sooner. Right here if necessary.

Or a huffing Dorf...or a Huffington Postman, who never rings at all, but delivers email.
Or a Dustbinman called Hoffman...
Paul,
Or a dusty Beider Meinhof...all right, I offically give up on this.
