Garden Glove Bandit Caught Dirty Handed

It didn't take long for Harold Ghaemmaghami, 45, the suspected Garden Glove bandit, to be caught by police. It was earlier this month that police asked the public's help in identifying the robber that targeted at least 17 Valley stores while wearing gardening gloves.

He was arrested Sunday night for grand theft after allegedly attempting to steal a '08 Buick from an auto dealership in Woodland Hills.

Did we ever find out why he used a garden glove? Was it to keep him from leaving finger prints? Or was it just one of his hobbies? What's the deal?

I can't wait until they make a CSI episode about him.
