Wow, two in a row. How'd this one leave the scene of the crime? By pogo-stick?
Most banks have a policy of asking patrons to remove their caps when entering the premises so that the cameras can record accuate ID. It's a shame that this bank did not enforce this policy. (As a courtesy to the tellers, I am now in the habit of doing this, whether there's a sign posted or not.)
I hope they catch this guy real soon. He's giving ball caps a bad rep.
