Current Bicycle Bandit Arrest - SA * Former League Footballer & Cop Kim Parsons Pleads Guilty

[Butters and Pepper]

Did he somehow think that he got the cancer from one of his workplaces and this was his revenge on society?

On a broader note, I would love to see some studies done on police officers and/or military personnel who go on to commit serious crime - Parsons, De',Angleo in the US, Colin Creed and others.

I wonder if some become desensitised to crime/violence, and the authority they have somehow warps their brain.

Just greed like the other poster said probably an adrenaline rush as well his only mistake was leaving blood on a fence if he hadn’t cut himself he would never have been arrested and we would have never known his identity.

100% would not have chosen VAD either. Would have gone against his beliefs as a "devout" JW.... guess that was a lie as well.

No way he was a JW

Have no problem with him taking his own life seems like he didn’t have much longer left anyway. He should have been caught back in 2008 but he got away.

Maybe, or maybe there are so many people in these fields that it's inevitable some will be criminals.

He started offending before he had cancer, everyone is probably asking the same question why... His daughter won funniest home videos grand final and took home 100k a few years before.
Oddly, I think this fuelled his greed, along with the inside knowledge on policing and the thrill of the act.
They were certainly not struggling.
Basically he was just a pathological liar, who truly only cared for himself.
This was his final selfish, gutless act, and got all the attention he needed.
Job done.

What year did she win? That's a decent prize

 

[Angus Young]

Who else robs 11 banks and gets away with it for 20 years.
To think if he never cut his hand on the fence would of never got caught.
Remarkable.

I wonder why he stopped.

Sucks he died. A tell all book written by him would of been something else.

 

[Butters and Pepper]

I wonder what is happening behind the scenes to seize assets from his deceased estate.

Nothing his family got to keep all his assets that was the deal if he pled guilty. He only paid back the money he stole.
