Soon, the police were chasing the two. Stupidly, the men pulled over and claimed that they had a washing machine on the back of the truck.

People with disabilities want money too. Once, a man suffering from Down's Syndrome decided to rob a bank.

Did We Leave Something?
Maryland
In the state of Maryland, many banks have night deposit boxes for their patrons. One night, a group of men decided it would be a good idea to pull the box from the ground using the four-wheel drive vehicle. After tying a rope to the box and to the back of the truck, the men sped off. They did not realize, however, that the bumper and been ripped from the truck and was attached to the box; so was the license plate. Mall security quickly traced the plates and police were waiting at the men's home when they arrived.
