Armed robber leaves investigators a clue: his ID card


BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) - Kern County sheriff's deputies said they've never seen a less cagey suspect.
James Paul Egan allegedly robbed a 7-Eleven at gunpoint, taking care to conceal his identity by covering his face with a blue bandanna, and wearing a knit hat and gloves.

Then he ran into the backyard of a nearby house, and threw out all the allegedly incriminating articles: the bandanna, the gloves, the hat, a .357-caliber Magnum handgun, and the jacket he'd been wearing - with his county jail property identification card in the pocket.

The card had his photograph, date of birth and jail booking number.

Deputies recognized him as the 21-year-old Egan, looked up his address and found him hiding in the attic of his home. He'd tried to disguise himself by shaving his head - and leaving all the hair in the kitchen trash can, deputies said.

STupid or WHAT!!!!!

the proper way to do it is to wear a wig thing to make you look bald. That way when they find you and you have a full head of hair, there's no way it could possibly be you.

I read a story in the paper about a robber that went into the bank and gave the teller his demands. She quickly gave him the money he asked for and he went off running, before most people even realized what was going on. After the robbery the police came in and found a pretty good clue. He wrote his demand on the back of his credit card statement. Not to mention he demanded $3000 in $100 bills and his balance was $2970, he was arrested later in the day and in searching his house they found money orders totally $2970.
