Leave it to a longboarding bank robber to put on a wig, a San Diego Padres snapback, and roll into a Wells Fargo bank only to hair out at the last minute and walk out. That’s what happened on Saturday, April 7, 2012 in La Jolla, California according to a story on KTLA.com.
The man walked into the Wells Fargo branch at 7714 Girard Ave. in La Jolla at about 1:38 p.m., the FBI said. He handed a demand note to a teller. The teller looked at the note and then at the man. The would-be robber may have panicked at that point, because he grabbed back the note and walked out of the bank. . . No money was taken and no one was injured in the robbery attempt.
The man, who police described as in his mid-30s or early 40s and white, may have had a last minute change of heart. Sad it couldn’t have happened three minutes before he walked into the bank.
