If it were in the Bay Area, I'd know who to suspect: my buddy Gorilla X! http://www.gorilla-x.com/photos.htm
We pulled a few pranks in grocery stores, but never a gas station.

"While Klein acknowledges that the action may seem funny, they want to talk to the person behind the ape suit because they aren't sure what the suspect's motives are."

LOL I wonder if there are forensic psychologists sitting around trying to figure this guy out.

My opinion: Either the guy is stoned and is doing it as a prank, or he's stealing foam banana's because he found out that the molecular construction of them can create a highly potent nuclear explosion, and he's amassing large quantities of them to start a revolution against the Bolivian government and install a quasi-Marxist socialist-utopian regime that will become the world's leading exporter of merkins.

...The former scenario is pretty far-fetched, so there's a pretty good chance that the latter one is what's really happening.

Actually, whilst that is indeed Eric's avatar, the beast in the photograph is none other than the infamous Maki. The authorities have been attempting to apprehend the Mak-ster for some time now, for other nefarious activities involving beer, surfboards, and young nubile Asian females, without success. I highly doubt they will be able to change their success rate even now that he has expanded his range to Wisconsin and is wearing a gorilla suit instead of swim trunks.



This scourge must be contained!

(...I shudder to think what would happen if he makes it to the east coast... )

Gard,

You are correct as usual. However, I smell a conspiracy here. This type of activity is usually carried out by more than one ape.
