The case for Britta Perry as the A** Crack Bandit
The fan theory adds that Britta breaks into a car and steals coins at one point in the show and even indicates it could be a repeatable behavior. She also attacks multiple people, showing a willingness to lash out at those who hurt or threaten her. "The reason she attacked Troy, is because she is still upset about him breaking up with her," the Redditor explained. "She attacked Duncan because she was sick of him always hitting on her."
These are decent points but hardly damning on their own. However, in context with Britta's dramatic character arc, they're pretty powerful. In detailing Britta's lengthy history at Greendale, the fan theory adds the easily overlooked fact that Britta slides from her maternal character in the study group in Season 1 to a more ridiculed and extreme character from Season 2 onward. This happens to correlate with the first mentions of the A** Crack Bandit in the show.
There's also the fact that Britta is notoriously bad at pulling pranks. She kills a frog and sends a dead body out a window in her first major "Britta-ed" April Fools event early in the show's run, setting the tone for a ruinous career in comedy from there forward.
It would make sense, then, that she would resort to a clandestine career of coin slot shenanigans as a way to vent her frustration. While the stars do align, though, there really isn't anything in the evidence that genuinely could put Miss Perry in detention for her behavior.
Justice remains unserved years after the finale aired. The A** Crack Bandit is still at large, waiting to strike again ... perhaps even in a "Community" movie at some point in the future.
