POLICE! DROP IT!
(from Manchester Evening News - 13 August 2001)
Bungle burgle
Tellers at the Royal Bank of Scotland in Manchester, England, noticed the man wearing a fur hat and heavy coat -- on the hottest day of the year -- even before he presented a teller with a shopping bag and ordered it filled with money. He got 6,000 pounds (US$8500). "But his actions once he left the bank were bordering on the comical," a police inspector said. The man's getaway vehicle was a bicycle. As he rode off, a dye packet with the cash exploded, enveloping him in a cloud of red smoke. Surprised, he fell and dropped the money, and a security camera taped his efforts to scoop up the cash. And since he knocked his hat off as he tried to straighten it, the camera also recorded his face. He jumped back on the bike and then crashed into a curb, falling again and dropping more of the money. In all, he left two-thirds of his loot behind during his getaway.
