A true story out of San Francisco: A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank
of America, walked into the branch and wrote 'this iz a stikkup. Put all
your muny in this bag." While standing in line, waiting to give his note
to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the
note and might call the police before he reached the teller window. So he
left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo. After
waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo
teller. She read it, and, surmising from his spelling errors that he
wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not
accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America
deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo
deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated,
the man said "OK" and left. The Wells Fargo teller then called the
police who arrested the man a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line
back at Bank of America.

A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that
measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received
in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment,
he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he
received a letter from the police that contained another picture - of
handcuffs.

A woman was reporting her car as stolen, and mentioned that there was a
car phone in it. The policeman taking the report called the phone and
told the man who answered that he had read the ad in the newspaper and
wanted to buy the car. They arranged to meet, and the thief was
arrested.

Drug possession defendant Christopher Jansen, on trial in March in
Pontiac, Michigan, said he had been searched without a warrant. The
prosecutor said the officer didn't need a warrant because a "bulge" in
Christopher's jacket could have been a gun. "Nonsense", said
Christopher, who happened to be wearing the same jacket that day in court.
He handed it over so the judge could see it. The judge discovered a
packet of cocaine in the pocket and laughed so hard he required a
five-minute recess to compose himself.

In Oklahoma City, Dennis Newton was on trial for the armed robbery of a
convenience store in a district court when he fired his lawyer. Assistant
District Attorney Larry Jones said Newton, 47, was doing a fair job of
defending himself until the store manager testified that Newton was the
robber. Newton jumped up, accused the woman of lying and then said, "I
should have blown your (expletive) head off." The defendant paused, then
quickly added, "If I'd been the one that was there." The jury took 20
minutes to convict Newton and recommended a 30-year sentence.

R. C. Gaitlan, 21, walked up to two patrol officers who were showing
their squad car computer equipment to children in a Detroit neighborhood.
When he asked how the system worked, the officer asked him for
identification. Gaitlan gave them his drivers license, they entered it
into the computer, and moments later they arrested Gaitlan because
information on the screen showed Gaitlan was wanted for a two year old
armed robbery in St. Louis, Missouri.

A Guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all
the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag,
the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the
shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier
refused and said "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber
said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he
didn't believe him. At this point the robber took his driver's license out
of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over, and
agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag.
The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly
called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he
got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.

A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving
revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved,
it startled the first bandit and he shot his accomplice.
