I know it's not rare. In this case they said it was a non-guard employe, possibly in the tailoring shop.
I know that some cons have their own groupies, too. Some women are drawn to the "bad boy" and some consider themselves a con's salvation.
I didn't say it was hard to believe; it's just something that doesn't appeal to me. I've seen too many women fall for rats who use and abuse them, and they act grateful for that attention. It's sad.
