Personally, I prefer my heist stories with a pinch of panache.
Apropos, per a Department of Justice press release, a thief in Lubbock, Texas, was recently sentenced.
According to the report, Eric Dion Warren pleaded guilty in August to stealing from a Wolfforth AIM Bank.
Evidently, he walked up to the window with a note and a paper, fast-food bag.
The message, exactly as written:
“This is a f robbery. Play with me and die. I want $10,000 in 50 and 100 dollar bills now you got 1 minute or I will kill you.”
Eric brandished what he brought: a pistol, apparently.
He told the teller, “I ain’t playing around, I only want 100’s and 50’s.”

A Texas man named Eric Dion Warren, 50, may have just discovered one of the wildest forms of non-traditional car financing you could imagine. He borrowed a BMW from a dealership to take it for a ride, then robbed a bank and attempted to use the money he’d stolen to pay for the car in cash. I’m actually in awe of the brain power it took to come up with a plan that genius.
