Stupid Story of the Week
'Spa bandit' gets his Brazilian, then runs for the hills
The Wisconsin "spa bandit" has struck again.

A man calling himself "Scott Kendry" booked $400 worth of spa treatments at the Azana Salon and Spa in Brookfield, and then skipped out on the bill.

The man had eyebrow, back, chest, and underarm waxes, a Brazilian bikini wax, a 75-minute massage, and a body quench treatment, and was scheduled for a manicure and pedicure, according to the spa's owner.

Kendry was "very charming," owner Tami Swaine said. He told the employees at the front desk that he worked at the country club next door, but told other spa employees he was a financier who bailed out failing businesses.

"He was a loud, boisterous man, very nice and very knowledgeable about the spa," Swaine said.

Surveillance video recorded his four-hour visit.

After the waxes and massage, the man said he needed to run out to his car and get some papers so that he could work during the pedicure. He left and never returned.

"He said, 'You can just tell the pedicurist to run the water.' That's how I knew he had done this before, because it's not a sentence you would typically say," Swain said.

And this apparently wasn't the first time the spa enthusiast had skipped out.

After local news outlets reported the story, Swaine said, employees of other spas called her. The hairless wonder had allegedly visited at least five other spas in the area, using the name "Scott Kendry" or other aliases, got waxes and skipped out on the bill, she said.

"He's a serial waxer, and he's been deemed the 'spa bandit,'" Swaine said.

In particular, she said, "Kendry" seems to enjoy certain types of treatments: "He likes the Brazilian bikini waxes, and when he got his massage here he asked the girls to spend a lot of time on his glutes."

No arrests have been made, according to Capt. Phil Horter of the Brookfield Police Department, and the case is still under investigation.

For Swaine, there is one upside to the story: "If nothing else, now people know we have surveillance."
