Hair Thief. WTH?

Well this is a strange one, knocking you out and lopping off your hair. It's not as if the hair is being swiped to be sold for wigs or extensions ect, it's just left lying beside the victim..

Re: Hair Thief. WTH?

Very strange I could almost understand if it was being sold as many people from poor backgrounds grow and sell their hair, but this is just odd.

Re: Hair Thief. WTH?

I wonder if it is an anti religion thing? I had a Muslim friend and she would not allow anyone, male or female touch her hair. Also, she said that living here in the UK she could not have sex with her husband in the winter, because she had to shower and wash her hair afterwards and it was far too cold at night after her child had gone to bed, to do so.


Off topic.

She baby sat for me one evening and when we got home, her British husband was sitting for us. I asked where his wife had gone and he said that our dog had licked her hand, so she had to go home and cleanse it seven times...

Ooer, strange nutter indeed.

I suppose in a way, it is better than leaving their guts laying beside the victim though!
Although it would be frightening and upsetting, at least they are still alive, and their hair will regrow.

Really weird nevertheless. As CeeCee says, perhaps an anti-religion thing.

I'm sure l read once about a man who sat behind women on the bus and cut their pony-tails off?

I think I vaguely recall that as well, Art.

They say there's nowt as queer as folk, if you needed more convincing then this should do it.
One has to wonder if in this crazy mixed up world of ours. Is there some perverted sexual element involved here?

Re: Hair Thief. WTH?

It is very strange - don't know what to make of it.
It seems to be causing a lot of odd rumours and panic to circulate and has also taken an even more sinister turn, when a 60 year old lady was caught by villagers in Agra and lynched because they suspected her of being one of the mystery hair choppers. This woman has died but it's not clear whether she was beaten to death or died from heart failure during the lynching.
Terrible.

Some countries are so cruel to their people.

It certainly is weird! It sounds as though it is someone with a hair fetish perhaps. Whatever, that is one seriously mentally ill person.
