This Is A (bleep) Up!
Unknown
A man rushed into a bank brandishing a gun intending to intimidate everyone by screaming, "Up with your f - - - - - - hands, this is a stickup." But in his nervousness, it came out, "Up with you sticky hands, this is a f - - - up". After a short pause, tellers, customers and the bank guard began to giggle and the thief was so rattled that he left the bank without carrying out the robbery. The bank now has a plaque on the wall containing the famous phrase (with suitable blank spaces, no doubt).

Locked Out
Unknown
Three friends decided to rob a bank. The plan was for one of the men to go into the bank near closing time and tie up the clerks, placing them in the vault. The plan went smoothly. The man left the bank and went to get his two accomplices from the car. In his haste, however, the man forgot to take the keys from the tellers. The clerks were locked in the vault; the man and his friends were locked outside the bank.

Fog Up
Canada
One winter's day, a juvenile borrowed his friends snowmobile and drove to the local Credit Union. Sporting a full-face helmet with a shield, the boy walked into the Credit Union carrying a handgun. After demanding twenty-thousand dollars, boy's shield began to fog up due to the heat inside the bank. Raising the shield so that he could see, the boy took the money and ran. The teller called the police because she had recognized the boy once the shield was lifted. She escorted police to the adolescents house where he was immediately arrested.

No License
Durham City, England
In England a gang hired a man to drive their getaway car for a series of bank robberies. As the gang came fleeing out of the first bank with several bags of money, the man panicked, causing the car to stall. Police arrived in minutes as the man desperately tried to get the car to start. In court, it was revealed that not only did the man not have a driver's license, he had never operated a vehicle before.

Miscalculation
France
Recently in France, two criminals decided it was be genius to break into a bank from a neighboring building. They decided to drill through the wall so they could reach the banks vault. After hours of exhausting labor, they finally broke through. Upon entering the room, however, they discovered that had miscalculated the location of the vault and were instead standing in the middle of the restroom.
