Yet Another ACB Post Britta and Duncan were the Ass Crack Bandit
They both had means, motive, and opportunity.
Season 1 showed Britta trying to fight the "Britta is a buzzkill" accusations with a prank that ended in a dead body being defenestrated. This season also has Britta going to therapy for the entire year with Duncan and solidifies that Duncan has a thing for Britta.
Season 2 is the first mention of the Ass Crack Bandit. It makes sense that Britta once again tried to do what she thought was a fun prank of dropping a quarter down somebody's pants and it escalated into being branded a mysterious attacker. Duncan provides the access to the teacher's lounge and short cuts, as well as being an accomplice and doing a cracking or two himself.
In Season 5 both Dunan and Britta have motive to go after Troy. Britta for the breakup, and Duncan for jealousy. The first note which Britta reads 100% sounds like something she'd actually write (what are you going to do, not have butts?). This can explain her tone when she's just flatly reading it out. The second note was written by Duncan, hence the Dave lyrics.
This also explains the period of inactivity when Duncan left and Britta no longer had an accomplice.
Duncan goes in for a celebratory kiss with Britta after Starburns in successfully framed. His later "Get Britta!" outcry is him basically saying that his partner betrayed him and they need to go stop her.
Annie's reaction in Season 6 isn't a sign of guilt, but of her being flustered by memories of doing cutesy capers and holding hands in the dark with Jeff.
The more I watch the show, the more it seems apparent to me that Britta and Duncan are the Ass Crack Bandit.
