Bad Bank Robber Comes Out Losing Money

An Iowa bank robber clearly couldn't count straight — he left with less money than he came in with.

Des Moines police say a man entered an Iowa Savings Bank (search) branch at the end of the day Monday and asked for change for a $20 bill, according to the Des Moines Register.

He made clear he wanted the cash as 10 $1 bills and two fives, and the clerk started counting out the notes.



She'd just finished giving him the o­nes when he suddenly opened a plastic bag and demanded she give him all the money she had. But since he didn't display a weapon, or even say he had o­ne, the teller simply refused. The man repeated his demand. "She said 'no' again," Senior Police Officer Jason Halifax said, "and he left." He also left two $5 bills sitting o­n the counter, meaning he was out 10 bucks for his trouble. The reverse robber was described as an average-sized male in his 20s, wearing black clothing, a blue stocking cap, a wig and a fake tattoo o­n his left cheek. He apparently didn't want his change back," Halifax said.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,119113,00.html
