She weighs in at about 200 pounds and loves to hug men coming out of bars. The only problem is, she also likes to take their wallets.

Authorities call her the "Hugging Bandit" and are warning men to stay away from her. Reports claim that the "Hugging Bandit" waits by bars in the wee hours of the morning for men who have had a little too much to drink. She hugs them tightly, trying to talk them into something a little more, and then, "ZAP," their wallets are gone. She uses their credit cards within a few hours after stealing them.

According to AP, authorities think the "Hugging Bandit" has been working the Buffalo scene for over ten years and that she might be a 48-year-old woman who has been arrested for possession of stolen property and prostitution.

Buffalo Detective Sgt. Tom Donovan told AP, "As far as I can tell, she waits until it's late at night and these guys coming out of the bars are tipsy. She makes sure they're rip-roaring drunk."

Most likely, many of the men who have been victims of her bear hugs are too embarrassed to report the crime.
