To Dye For

Friday, June 19th, 2009 • Filed under Banks, Robberies

There is nothing wrong with being undeterred by your goal. But there is a fine line between determined and demented. It’s also a very zig-zaggy line and the demented side is located over the gravity-heavy end of a large cliff.

A man who stole money from a bank that was doused with explosive dye still tried to deposit it at another bank, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The dye pack within one of the bags of money exploded making it more traceable than Amy Winehouse’s vodka stench.

He tried to deposit the cash in his account, but police tracked him down. He actually tried two banks before stopping at the drive-thru window of a third to deposit the money. He would have made off with more if he sold the dye at his local Sherwin Williams store.
