Tip to Robbers: Make Sure Your Get Away Guy Knows Where He is Going


Here's a big key for all you readers that are thinking of going into robbery: DON'T ASK THE COPS FOR DIRECTIONS! Unbelievable but true. Read story here.

But crooks have been idiots for years.

When I was an intern for a US Magistrate, they brought in two guys for robbing a federal bank. The robbers had taken extreme efforts to not give up their identities. They wore leg hose over their heads so they couldn't be seen, they communicated with each other by hand signals so they wouldn't accidentally use their names or give a voice print.

They even wrote a note to the teller saying they were robbing the bank and wanted all the money.

So how'd they get caught?

They wrote the note on the back of an envelope that had been mailed to their house. When the cops went to the address on the envelope, they found the fellas counting the money from the heist.
