I guess the FBI wear blindfolds in between investigations. Or this guy has been on overseas deployment for a few years.

Is it April already? Or has this dimwit been listening to old Kenneth Williams (he of the "Carry On" films) record where the robber tells the staff to "Put up your hands and give me the money!" before aforementioned thesp points out that hands in air are unable to reach notes in desk drawers...

Pretty sure this has happened before but I could be wrong. Now give me all your money commenters or the Vulture gets it

There should be something like the Darwin Awards, called, say, the Sherlock Awards. "When the properly thought through options have been eliminated, whatever remains, no matter how outrageously stupid ... "

I bet the letter had sweaty DNA evidence all over it too. Just in case they need to prove it was him even further!

At least he had a job.. He was trying.. The criminal classes around here live on social welfare between blags.
As far as the IT angle, based on the sucess of the robbery, I'm guessing he was either an IT project manager or CIO.

He takes $400
The bank has his payslip details
The bank should just withdraw $400 from his account
End of.

But why did he insist that the teller should quit ??
Was that why he only got $400: because she gave him a little then walked out?

Unusual? #

Unusual. It only happens every other month in the US (apparently robber apprentices there are told by TV shows that it's safer to write your threats instead of voicing them). The Darwin Award website is full of that kind of stuff (though not in the main section).
