Granted, crooks who aren't up to speed on their technology have paid dearly (and rightfully so) for their ignorance, but a comical case involving a witty bank robber proved that even master plans involving GPS can be subverted. Reportedly, a woman who made off with an undisclosed amount of cash from a People's Bank in Connecticut somehow realized that a tracking device was stuffed within one of the oh-so-valuable bags. Rather than panicking, however, she simply removed the chip, chucked it in the sewer, and went about her day. It wasn't noted whether the sly criminal was ever brought to justice, but if the fuzz eventually ran her down, it was most certainly done the old fashioned way.[Via TGDaily, image courtesy of NYJWJ]
Well done
she should have placed the chip on top of a school bus!
No, she should have put it on an ex-boyfriend's car. The conversation that would have happened when the cop caught him would have been great.
Were there ink charges in those bags? Those are pretty useful to catch robbers red handed, literally.
Darn they are getting more and more intelligent by the minutes...
the bill series is still on record i'm sure, so thats still gonna be a issue for the crook.
Yeah, I'm sure the nigerians care, or the dubaians.
Hah, nothing a little Columbian money laundering won't fix.
I'm not in the banking business, but if I was, I would put more than one chip in each bag.
And if I was a crook I'd toss it in the trunk where it's shielded :)
I'm not in the robbery business, but if I was, I'd put all of your chips on different cars in the parking lot next door.
Or, even easier, dump the money in my trunk and leave your silly, "it's obvious I'm carrying stolen money" bags behind.
Reminds me of Who's Harry Crumb?
