I'd totally see this on the news, and it'll play out just like this:

|"We're brodcasting from Regalia, on K8 channel news, and there's a woman snatching wonderful childrens candy! We have one father of a poor child victimized by this, and I quote, "He just stole my sons pillowcase! It was full of his candy!". That was just a start to the many witnesses from the scene, but we've yet to find this "Masked" woman. I'll be back soon, and I'll report the latest to you, but that'll happen after a short break!". |

That's how it'd play off.... I'm so sure of it!
