Bank robber leaves name and address behind

A witless bank robber has been caught by police in the US after writing his demand for cash on his own pay cheque.

The man walked into a Chicago bank and handed a teller a note that read "Be Quick Be Quit (quiet). Give your cash or I'll shoot."

He got about $400 from the teller but mistakenly left half of his note, written on his October payslip, behind.

Investigators found the other half outside the bank's front doors, complete with his name and address.

Police said they had never seen a criminal blunder like it.

"It's fairly unusual that we see something that specifically stupid," said FBI spokesman Ross Rice. "But overall, we see a lot of strange bank robberies."

The bank teller described the robber as a man in his late 30s with brown eyes and no front teeth. He was spotted on CCTV cameras near the bank wearing a brown coat.

When police went to his brother's home nearby, he said Mr Infante had been there earlier that day, and had left behind the same jacket seen in the security footage.

Mr Infante was arrested at his home in Cary, and later admitted to his role in the robbery, according to an FBI statement.

If convicted of bank robbery, he faces 20 years in prison.

I love stupid criminals and the world is full of them - here is another stupid bank robber.

"I just don't know why he didn't see a uniformed police officer standing basically right in front of him," Hastings tells the Associated Press. "My guess is he's just not the brightest of people."
