Bank Robber Hires Decoys on Craigslist, Fools Cops

By Caroline McCarthy, CNET News

Around 11:00 a.m. PDT Sept. 30, the robber, wearing a yellow vest, safety goggles, a blue shirt,
and a respirator mask went over to a guard who was overseeing the unloading of cash to the bank
from the truck. He sprayed the guard with pepper spray, grabbed his bag of money, and fled the scene.


But here's the hilarious twist :

The robber had previously put out a Craigslist ad for road maintenance workers,
promising wages of $28.50 per hour. Recruits were asked to wait near the Bank of America
right around the time of the robbery--wearing yellow vests, safety goggles, a respirator mask,
and preferably a blue shirt. At least a dozen of them showed up after responding to the Craigslist ad.

"I came across the ad that was for a prevailing wage job for $28.50 an hour,"
one of the unwitting decoys, named Mike, said to the NBC station. As it turns out,
they were simply placed there to confuse cops who were looking for
a guy wearing a virtually identical outfit.

Authorities eventually found the getaway inner tube (a getaway inner tube!) and suspect
that accomplices may have picked up the robber in a boat. According to the NBC affiliate,
police hope to track him down by figuring out who posted the Craigslist ad in the first place.

Craigslist founder Craig Newmark was not immediately available for comment.

I heard about the guy who made his getaway in the inner tube. This has got to be the same guy. He must be a criminal genius. I'll bet they never catch this guy.
