Bad recycling: Pay stub used as bank robbery note


CHICAGO – The robber's threatening note made a Chicago bank job easy to solve: The FBI says the suspect wrote it on his pay stub. An FBI affidavit said the man walked into a Fifth Third Bank on Friday and handed a teller a note that read "Be Quick Be Quit (sic). Give your cash or I'll shoot."

The robber got about $400 but left half of his note. Investigators found the other half outside the bank's front doors. Authorities say that part of the man's October pay stub had his name and address.

The suspect was arrested at his Cary home. A judge ordered him held without bond Monday. If convicted of bank robbery, he faces 20 years in prison.

1. This happens so often,...paystub, deposit slip, etc.... that News of the Weird won't even report it.

There is a list of news items somewhere that they no longer report because they indeed happen quite often.


They should have a pass/fail test you have to take to be a criminal.

7. Thanks for the video...

that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Take the Money and Run and Bananas were the first Woody Allen movies that I saw and I was hooked from that point on. Although his earlier movies don't have the polish or sophistication of his later work, they are more hilarious.

5. but what if you're in a hurry and you can't find an extra scrap of paper?

then is a paystub okay to use?

6. 20 years for 400 bucks.

My guess is he's a first time bank robber, hmm?

People, people! Leave the criming to the professionals!
