Subject: Police not stumped by 'tree' robber

Written By: Philip Eno on 07/09/07 at 2:35 pm

Police in America have arrested a man who robbed a bank 'disguised' as a tree.

CCTV footage shows the man entering the bank with branches and leaves taped to his body.

After patiently waiting in the queue with fellow customers, the man makes his move, ordering the bank cashier to fill a bag full of cash, Sky News reports.

Unfortunately for the suspect, a dye pack inside the bag exploded.

And in a second stroke of bad luck, the man's face could be clearly seen by the CCTV camera through his foliage.

He was later arrested at his home in Manchester, New Hampshire.

they were telling a story on the radio about a bank robber who put a bag on his head so he couldnt get identified but forgot to cut out eye holes. so he goes up to the cashier and looks so strange it just doesn’t sink in with her that she’s getting robbed. so she just goes, look, i don’t know what you want. what do you want? and finally he just shrugs and leaves.

Then there was the dude who tried to rob the bank with the note in the drive-thru. the teller just put the note back in the little pneumatic thing and sends it back to him and he just drives off.

and then there’s her.

The dumbest criminal ever ... Forget where it took place, but this guy walks into a bank and quietly demands the teller for all the money.  She said that she had to go and get the key to the vault, so if he wouldn't mind waiting in the car, she'd bring him the money.  I think the end of this story is obvious ;D

People are so stupid. 

Years ago when I was working in a bank, 2 guys tried to break into the ATM.  They didn't know out how to open the thing and while trying to figure it out the camera on the ATM got great photos of their faces.  The picutres were aired on the new the next evening and they were in custody by the following morning.  ;D

This nut thought he could dress like a tree,
walk into a bank branch
stash the money in his trunk
and just leave!

What a sap!
