Mister Tipptopp

Mister Tipptopp is a one-time antagonist in the Austrian "Tom Turbo"-book series, however he only appears in a short story.

He is a thief who earned his name from his habit to always dress tiptop (another word for properly).

History
Mister Tipptopp once broke into a laboratory and stole the recipe for a poison which he put on a microfilm. His burglary was reported on TV, resulting in many people knowing his face. One day, when he enters a store in disguise by wearing bigger eyebrows, a fake mustache and a fake mole, he is recognized by the talking bike Tom Turbo, who happens to be in the same store along with his "bosses", the siblings Karo and Klaro. They call out that the man is Mister Tipptopp, causing the thief to run. Following him, the kids and Tom see him leaving another store without his shoes. Tom deduces that the shoes contain the microfilm. However, when entering the store, they realize that there are many shoes as it's a shoe store. After they found the right pair, they found the microfilm hidden in one of the heels.

It was mentioned that this seemed to be a bad day for Mister Tipptopp: running from the police, he fell into a pond, now looking anything but tiptop.
