I can’t tell if this thread is a place to celebrate creativity and irony on behalf of this young man or …? He could have chosen to dress in all black with black ski mask.

It is almost good news. No one killed, the cards were probably insured. Maybe even an advertisement for the trading cards. I’d let him go.
