**BREAKING: CHRIS HANSEN DEPLOYED TO NEW "TARGET" AFTER TAKING A WRONG TURN ON THE WAY TO THE GROCERY STORE**

**DATELINE – UNKNOWN LOCATION (LIVESTREAM)**

The internet lost its collective mind after Hansen allegedly muttered, "I’m not here for you, I’m here for a loaf of Wonder Bread," while simultaneously noting that the homeowner’s kitchen counter was "suspiciously clean for a setup."

Police arrived to find two men in a heated debate about "who was actually the decoy." Hansen reportedly offered to help the vigilante improve his "lighting technique" for future stings, while the vigilante demanded Hansen write him a letter of recommendation for college.
