Dashed Expectations

December 8-9th, 2012
A teenager tried to rob a store armed with nothing more than a banana. The suspect held the banana under his shirt and claimed it was a gun. The clerk, however, jumped up and lucky for him, the banana was not loaded. The store clerks held him down and waited for police to arrive. As they waited, the suspect ate the banana. Fortunately, police were able to take the peel as evidence.

Sometimes banks use explosive dye packs to protect their money once it has been stolen. One bank robber learned the hard way not to put the stolen loot in his pants. After a recent bank robbery, the robber put the money, and subsequently some of the dye packs, in his pants as he left the bank. The packs exploded and caused burns to a very sensitive area.

A robber walked into the bank and handed a teller a note demanding money. He concluded the note with, "Yours truly, Thanks! And have a nice day." However, the paper that he wrote the note on belonged to his father. He tried to block the personal information out but the bank was able to determine whom it belonged to by using a magnetic scanning device.

Using his underwear as a mask while knocking over convenience stores, a man had an unsuccessful first attempt when his boxers nearly fell off of his head, exposing part of his face. Just 30 minutes later and two miles away, he hit another store and was successful this time. The next weekend, the robber ditched the briefs and donned a paintball helmet instead, holding up two more stores in just a few hours. The man and his drawers are still unaccounted for.

One bank robber actually called 911 after he held up a bank. He successfully robbed the bank but got in an accident in his getaway vehicle. He later found his roommate dead of an apparent suicide, so he called 911. Police matched his description to that of the bank robber and took him into custody. The police captain told the local news that the man "was having a bad day."

A man tried to rob a grocery store and left his wallet behind for police to find. When he went to the station to file a report that his wallet was missing, they told him that they found it and he was under arrest. Police were able to match the identity in the wallet to a suspicious report report.

A 25-year-old man was arrested on charges of criminal impersonation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. There were flashing lights atop his SUV and what appeared to be a police badge in his hand when the fake cop pulled up next to the real cop. The fake cop flashed his fake badge. Then the real cop said in a very !#%$ way, "That's not a badge." The real cop pulled out his own badge and said, "That's a badge." Good cop, dumb cop.

One robber held up a police chief. The robber waited for the chief to come out of the men's room before sticking a gun in his face and demanding money. Luckily, the chief had some backup: about 300 officers to be exact. Not only was the guy he robbed a police chief, but he was also attending a policeman's convention at the same time.

Police caught a female robbery suspect waiting in line to get a pizza. The robber had held up a convenience store and fled the scene before police arrived. The person she held up watched her walk to a pizza place across the street. Police arrived at the scene and found the woman still waiting in line for her pizza.
