The Robin Hood of Colorado
On Christmas Eve in 2019, a 65-year-old man robbed an Academy Bank in Colorado Springs. Instead of executing a stealthy getaway, he walked out into the street, reached into his bag, and began wildly throwing the stolen cash into the air while shouting, “Merry Christmas!” to startled passersby. Proving that even eccentric bank robbers need a holiday treat, he then walked over to a nearby Starbucks, sat down, and waited peacefully for the police to arrive and arrest him. Bystanders reportedly gathered up the cash and returned it to the bank tellers.
