QUESTION.
If you’re the kind of guy that commits multiple armed robberies… you’d want to stay pretty low-key, right?
You’d want to be difficult to identify. You know, in case you’re on video somewhere.
ORRRR YOU CAN JUST TATTOO YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ON YOUR FOREHEAD.

WHY?!?!?!?!
According to KPRC 2 Houston:
A Houston man with a remarkably distinctive tattoo is wanted in connection with several aggravated robberies on the city’s northside.
“They’re calling this guy ‘Social Security’ because he actually has his Social Security (number) tattooed across his forehead,” veteran Houston police investigator, Frank Heenan, said.
In fact, Robert Wooten, 40, has several tattoos, another appears to indicate his area code.
The numbers “713” appear prominently on his neck.
Wooten is a career criminal who is connected to at least a half-dozen recent armed robberies at the following Houston addresses, according to the Houston Police Department.
A man identified by police in surveillance video as Wooten shows him with a gun to the back of a pawn shop clerk.
Another store’s surveillance video shows the suspect wearing American Flag shorts, tossing a bag he wants filled with money, at a phone store salesman.
No one has been hurt in any of the crimes, but Heenan is convinced it is just a matter of time before someone is injured.
“He’s notorious around the Acres Homes area, North Shepherd, West Little York, West 43rd,” Heenan said.
What a stand up citizen, this guy is…
The reactions to this are comedy GOLD.
Probably never going to be featured in @CBS criminal minds

Me too, meeee toooo…..
Should have been caught as soon as his forehead & neck were seen. I guess his peoples are waiting for Crimestoppers to post reward money first.

Well aaaactually… that might happen sooner than later!
“If you have information about Wooten’s whereabouts, you’re asked to call the Houston Police Department at 713-884-3131 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS. Calls to Crime Stoppers allow tipsters to remain anonymous and can result in rewards of up to $5,000.”
I mean… that should be a pretty easy five grand.
