Smart Criminal (gasp)
Unknown
A bank called them that had some money stolen from the night depository box. It is virtually impossible to steal from them because you can't get your hand into the box for the hopper. When they got there all we found was water on the ground and the contents in the box were wet. They came to the conclusion that the thief filled the box up with water allowing the loose paper money to rise to the top. Of course the coinage and money that was in a bank zipper bag was still there. When the money floated to the top all the thief had to do was rotate the hopper handle and it acted as a scoop. In this manner he proceeded to use the depository as a free ATM machine. They never did find out who did it.

Taxies Can Help
Spokane, Washington
A Washington woman decided to rob a bank. Not having any transportation, however, she called a cab. She had the driver take her to the bank and wait outside while she robbed the institution. After the heist, she had the cab driver take her back home. Fortunately, several people outside of the bank saw the woman walk out of the bank with bags of money and get into the taxi. The police were called and given the cab number. The driver was called into to take the police to the woman's house where she was immediately arrested.

Stationary
Unknown
A young criminal walked into a bank and quietly handed the teller a note demanding several thousand dollars. Disguised, the man could have easily gotten away. However, he had idiotically written the note on a piece of his own stationery; it included his full name and address.

The Next Day…
Unknown
Sometimes, a criminal's stupidity does not rear its ugly head at the time of the crime. One man robbed a bank and made a clean getaway. The next day, however, he returned to the same bank and tried to deposit the money into his account.

Stuck In The Vault
Unknown
Three burglars entered a soon-to-be-demolished bank in hopes of finding some left over cash. Two of the group found a vault, but upon entrance, they discovered it was empty. The door shut behind them and they were unable to get out. Worried that his friends may die, the third man called the fire department to rescue his friends. The police came as well, and the trio was arrested.
