That's nothing; a couple of years back, some genius in SoCal stole a car enroute to a bank he was going to rob.........turns out the car belonged to a L.A. County sheriff's deputy, who found his car and then arrested the guy who stole his car..........just as the guy was exiting the bank he had robbed.............jacfan wrote:Some days it is just not worth getting out of bed!!!
Accused bank robber David Maksimik arrested after tough day.
IS this the world's unluckiest bank robber?
David Maksimik, 59, not only bungled his getaway he even ended up calling police to the home where he'd stashed his haul, according to US media reports.
Connecticut police claim Mr Maksimik robbed the People's United Bank on Old Kings Highway north, in Darien, with a fake grenade strapped to his waist and a gun on January 29.
He reportedly escaped, but then crashed his getaway vehicle into another car.
The Associated Press reports the hapless Mr Maksimik needed to hail a bus, then a taxi, before eventually calling his sister to pick him up.
But the Connecticut Post reports when Mr Maksimik finally made it home, he found his roommate dead and called emergency services.
Police responding to the suicide say they found bank money totalling $US3745 ($5378) inside a bag on Mr Maksimik's bed and arrested him.
