Woman chats on cell phone while robbing banks

[jsinger]

My guess is she'll eventually get caught wrecking the getaway car:
--
In northern Virginia, police say they're looking for a woman who's held up 4 banks while chatting on her cell phone.

"The question would be whether anyone is on the other end of the line or not."

Is she blonde....

I love quirky crimes: That Erie Pennsylvania pizza bomber, the hapless truck driver who made off with 260,000 NICKELS.

Yeah, she's something of a Latino babe. There's some speculation that she may be talking to her get-away driver outside or trying to look like she has nearby accomplices. A few have said she may have been hypnotized. Great, made-for-Fox (network) stuff

If she knocks Natalie Holloway off TV, I'm thrilled.

the hapless truck driver who made off with 260,000 NICKELS

I just talked with a colleague about that case a few days ago. Haven't heard about it for a while. Any news?

[jsinger]

As I recall, they found the nickels buried in a backyard near Miami. The truck driver, believed to have pulled off the heist, escaped from the U.S via Mexico. That's the last I've heard.

Not even a two bit crime!

==============
The Pizza Collar Bomber story was very much in the news again about two months ago. Very complex story. A bunch of middle aged screwballs have been linked to the plot. Lots of work to either: 1) rob a bank or 2) kill a pizza guy.

As the cell phone babe shows, it aint that hard to rob a bank (or 4 of them). If you want to kill a pizza guy...well, you just shoot him!
