Stupid Is as Stupid Robs

A man walked into a Cumming, Ga., bank and told the teller to give him money from the vault, and escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash. He is described as wearing a yellow or orange jacket with a stripe down its right side, a blue dress shirt and dark jeans, wearing gloves, and carrying a toolbox. Oh, and he also had a furnace filter held up in front of his face. “He used the air filter to try to conceal his identity from the employees,” said sheriff’s Investigator Matt Runion. “I guess he didn’t see the camera.” An overhead camera got a clear picture of the suspect, and the hunt is on for the robber. (MS/Atlanta Journal-Constitution) ...His face didn’t need a filter, but his brain sure does.
