Talk about your dumb criminals!
Shortly after the town of Greensburg, PA’s First Commonwealth Bank was robbed on Tuesday morning, police came across a bank robbery suspect who was counting the loot as he walked away from the heist!
Police say that the suspect, 35 year old, David Morgan, had handed a bank teller a polite demand note with a smiley face on it when he robbed the bank.
The man was arrested several blocks from the bank as he was walking along counting money. He fit the description of the suspect.
I guess the moral of the story for would be bank robbers out there is to not count your take until you get to a safe place!

Instead of blackmail I guess you could call this dogmail …
Police are looking for a man they say stole two rings worth nearly $25,000 from a woman after grabbing her dog. Brunswick police Detective William Collins said a woman was walking her Shih Tzu on Monday when a man picked up the dog and demanded the rings if she wanted the dog back.
Police said the victim gave up her rings, and that the suspect fled on foot after returning the dog. The rings were a 6.57-carat sapphire with diamonds valued at $18,500 and a .96-carat diamond solitaire valued at $5,000.
The suspect was described as a professional-looking, clean-shaven white man in his late 20s or early 30s

A would be thief in Vernon, B.C. took no for an answer two out of three times! In the end his persistence paid off.
It all started last Tuesday evening when the man entered a Vernon Square Dollar Store at about 5:45 pm. He demanded money but the cashier refused and he left. The then entered a Money Mart at 7:20 pm, pulled a knife, and demanded money. Again, the teller refused to hand over the cash so he left. (why’d he bother with the knife?)
Finally, at about 9 p.m. he robbed a gas station and fled with an undisclosed amount of money. I guess they finally took him seriously at the gas station.
He is described as a skinny man in his 20s with light brown or blond hair, about five-foot-six.
I guess as the saying goes, if you fail, try and try again. He sure did!
