Pro tip for bank robbers: Leave your ID at home

Alleged bank robber Kelvin James Crosby, 28, of High Point North Carolina was pinched in our fair city during a traffic stop. We’ll be sending him back to NC to stand trial for a bank robbery, during which he is reported by police to have dropped a personal document with his name on it. After finding this document, police compared a picture of Crosby to the surveillance tape and decided that was a good enough match to justify putting a warrant out for his arrest.
I’d like to think that if I was going to go stick up a joint I’d avoid carrying around my bills and love letters, but perhaps it was a spur of the moment kind of thing inspired by this bit of mail that drove him to it. You can insert your own lobbyist/congress crooks-coming-to-DC joke here.

You may laugh, but lots of times robbing people and businesses really is a spur-of-the-moment decision with woefully little planning. Me, I would plan the hell out of such an undertaking, but I have good impulse control and thus don’t do stupid stuff like this.
