Rumors of a real-life Batman have been circulating in Mexico as a series of incidents involving thieves being caught and tied to streetlights at night continue to occur.

According to media reports, at least five men have been found taped to utility poles in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, over the past ten days.

The word for thief was written in Spanish on the faces of the bound men. The question remains: who is the person responsible for tying up these thieves?
