Catch a Thief - Do You Know This Man?

Is there anything lower - and more pathetic - than a dour young man who lifts what he thinks is a valuable newel post from one of Chicago's greatest landmark buildings and walks away with it stuffed into his backpack? Below is pictured just such a man:

Do you know who he is? And if do, could you let us know? On the afternoon of January 12th, this guy was caught on surveillance cameras walking into the 1890's Monadnock Building and nonchalantly stealing the newel post from the staircase. See all of the surveillance pictures and read the rest of the story here.

    Geez, with the amount of places I've seen his pictures posted, you'd think that SOMEBODY would have given a positive ID to the jerk by now.

    ...and Rob Lowe is better looking than that...

    I was down at Monadnock for business last weekend and I woudln't say security was tight, but I did get a lot of bad attitudes from the security staff. I guess that was their reaction to the incident.

    It looks like Mark Wigley, dean of Columbia School of Arch.
