If there was a class for bank robbers, this may be the first lesson – don’t forget something to carry your loot in. It’s a reminder a thief in New Hudson, Michigan should have had from his crooked colleagues after he entered a local savings and loan and demanded money on Monday. The man handed the startled teller a note that read “give me your money.” He seemed to have thought of everything – he was wearing a hoodie and sunglasses to keep from being seen and he had winter gloves on to avoid leaving any fingerprints.
But he was stopped short when the teller asked him just one question – “where are you planning to put it all?” The woman behind the counter wondered if he had a bag to carry his ill gotten gains in and when the would-be bandit realized he didn’t, he turned around and rushed out of the building without any cash.
Unfortunately, he learned from his mistake. Cops claim the same man later committed four far more successful bank robberies in the area by the end of the day and they’re still looking for him. So far, it appears an arrest is not in the bag.
