Benito Perez (El Benny)

edit

Benito Perez (1856-1910), born in Los Fresnos, Texas.

He was an outlaw thief that inherited his family´s lotto money, and he had the weird habit of stealing and collecting different kinds of socks. His family died from a plane crash when he was 17 years old and he lived by himself since that time. He didn´t know how to spend his money correctly so he spent it in everything and every girl that he wanted. He was a really good man until the accident happened, he got crazy and he lost control of his actions. This is why he started to be obsessed about socks and he started to steal at night from every person that he could. Some pictures show all of his collection and theres evidence that he stole Alexander Graham Bell and Miguel Hidalgo´s socks when they were sleeping. The police couldn´t stop his robberies because of how good he was. He even stoled his girlfriends´socks at when they were sleeping, this is why he never got married or even had kids. Some people say that he died because he ate a sock while sleeping but there´s no evidence about it. Today people conmemorate him by celebrating once a year his birthday in January 23, people go out to the streets at night and steal other one´s socks.
