American Robbers

 Mann mann mann, ein Raeuber duemmer als der naechste. Erst bricht einer unsanft durch's Dach, dann kommt der naechste als Klebeband-Mumie daher und zuletzt benutzt der Neueste einen selbstgebastelten Flecktarn Anzug. Auf die Idee ist er vermutlich durch Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater gekommen. [...]

Robber disguised face with duct tape
Kasey Kazee was arrested for robbing a liquor store in Ashland, Kentucky on Friday. He allegedly disguised himself by wrapping duct tape around his face. He also apparently pulled his t-shirt around his head Cornholio-style. Don't miss the video interview with Kazee where he denies being the duct tape bandit. From WSAZ:

Miller says Kazee also had a t-shirt pulled up around his head during the robbery attempt. Miller says it reminded him of the "Cornholio" character from the "Beavis and Butthead" cartoon.

Steele says Kazee did get away with two rolls of change before Steele could grab his club. Police found much of that change in the parking lot.

Man disguised as tree robs bank
James Coldwell, 49, disguised himself as a tree when he robbed a bank in Manchester, New Hampshire on Saturday. He had tree branches attached to his clothing and head with duct tape. Police nabbed him after surveillance video that played on TV news led to several anonymous tips of Coldwell's identity. This is according to the police captain whose real name is apparently Dick Tracy. From the New Hampshire Union Leader:

Coldwell was charged with one count of robbery after answering questions at the police station, Capt. Dick Tracy said...

"I think he was hoping the disguise would camouflage him enough that no one would recognize who he was," Tracy said.
