Worst Robbery Disguises
Let’s say, you’re going to rob a bank/store/gas station. There are of course lots of things you have to think about. Time and location, but no less important: the disguise. That last thing is just what these thieves didn’t think about (or thought about a little too much) before starting their adventure…
1. Permanent marker
This pair of smartasses painted their entire faces with black permanent marker for a robbery in an apartment. Strangely they have been caught by the police, they recognized their disguise. They were probably pretty bumped out when they found out they’d bought permanent markers by accident.
2. Santa suit
This Santa Claus is less into giving, and more into taking. Apparently there’s some financial trouble in the Claus residence, because this Santa claimed he needed the money for his elves. Merry Christmas everyone!
3. Duct tape
As if you can’t be any more stupid, Kasey Kazee decided to make a mask out of duct tape. Unfortunately he wasn’t smart enough to not attach the pieces of duct tape directly onto his skin. That day the police had the honour of pulling the stuff piece by piece from his face. The man was probably just scared of being tackled, this mask cannot be taken off that easily…
4. Tree
Apparently it’s best to just stick lots of branches onto your body. The man with this tree disguise robbed a bank in Manchester and has not been caught.
5. Thongs
Two men of 19 and 24 had apparently just left their girlfriends’ home when they decided to rob a store. They had decided to cover their faces with thongs, because that is of course the least revealing piece of underwear… Important detail: one of the thongs was blue, the other was green.
6. Clown outfit
It wasn’t Halloween, but this woman still decided to get dresses up as a clown that day. She robbed a bank in Pennsylvania and left with $7.000. The police later arrested her when she was smoking a cigarette in her car.
7. Spray paint
Two man used spray paint on their faces as a disguise. One of the thieves was experiencing difficulty breathing after the robbery and died.
8. Your hands
Peek-a-boo! This thief thought his hands would be the ultimate disguise. The strange thing is that he did enter with a real mask, but he later took it off for unapparent reasons, after which he just held his hands in front of his face.
9. Black man’s mask
Conrad Zdzierak used a mask to resemble a black male as a robbery disguise. He almost got away with it, until his girlfriend found the masks and reported him to the police.
10. Plastic bag
And if you really haven’t got any inspiration for a nice mask, you can just use a plastic bag right? At least that’s what Jamie Neil thought when he went to rob a gas station. His partner in crime wasn’t much brighter, he pretended like his phone was a gun…
