Geezer Bandit Strikes Again!

So the so-called "Geezer Bandit" has struck again and knocked over his 7th bank in San Diego county. I gave an earlier shout-out to this retirement age rebel a few months ago but thought that would be the end of his Ensure fueled reign of terror. Was I wrong.

Authorities are now offering a $16,000 for this octogenarian baddie.


However, a spokeswoman for the FBI was on TV this morning and they think they've caught a break since this time the geriatric ne'er do well used a day planner to conceal an automatic handgun with which he threatened the teller.








She didn't really explain why this was a break. Maybe they're trying to supersize the still photo of said day planner to read any contact info The Geezer Bandit may have been imprudent enough to have written in.



Who knows? She did say that one of the reasons he's so successful is that he blends in with the rest of the crowd both when he's in the bank and when he shuffles away with his loot after the hold-up.








Interesting theory. Now every bank teller in San Diego is on the lookout for old men who might try to rob them.








All I have to say is Go Geezer Bandit, Go!

Geezer Bandit terrorizes San Diego

So this is the infamous "Geezer Bandit" who has knocked over as many as 5 banks in the Southern California area.

Since he has used a gun, authorities say he is armed and dangerous. The latest heist happened late last month in La Jolla, where witnesses said the bank robber "fled" on foot after sticking up the teller.

I'm not sure whether to laugh, be amazed, wish this guy was my grandpa, or somehow be appalled that an O.A.P. (Old Age Pensioner as they call them in Britain) is gang-busting his way through the San Diego area. Maybe a combination of all of them.

The main question, I think, is this a last-minute bucket list terror spree kind of thing or a sign of our seriously dire economic times? Only time and the Geezer Bandit himself will tell I suppose.
