ABC News: Wash. Man Pulls Off Robbery Using Craigslist, Pepper Spray

In what authorities described as one of the most unusual robberies in recent memory, a man wrested a bag of cash from an armored truck guard and escaped down a creek with an inner tube after using decoys summoned from a Craigslist ad to distract witnesses. ...

Did a quick search for it, didn't find it, but thought I'd share the silliness. I'd like to picture him holding a bag of cash in one hand and a mai tai in the other, drifting peacefully away.

Anyone have any other funny crimes? I think there was a guy who tried getting away via scuba diving after robbing a bank.

Oh shit, really? Guess when I said I searched the forums and it didn't make it here, I thought I'd share.
