This made me smile.
TheLocal.de: A 16-year-old in Germany made off with hundreds of euros after he held up a bank using a toy gun, but was quickly apprehended when he fled by bicycle, police said Saturday. …..
The boy then raced off on his bike, chased by a witness in a car. He was apprehended by police several minutes later while trying to cross the border into Austria.
I’m still smiling but I’m not sure which bit of ineptitude is funniest;
- his bicycle, or
- his toy gun, or
- his haul of several hundred Euros or
- his attempt to cross the international border on his bicycle
What do 16-year-olds get taught these days?
Appparently bank robbers on bikes are not that uncommon. A 59 year old bank robber in Louisiana also got away on a bike but he had a real gun and got away with $14,000 before being caught a day later. But this bank robber in Burlington seems to have got away on his bike and has not yet been apprehended.
