The Mad Hatter bank robber

[Orgetorix]

There's a serial bank robber operating in New Jersey that has been nicknamed the "Mad Hatter," because he wears a different "hat" (cap) every time he knocks over a bank. He's taken over $60,000 so far.

With the level of security at most banks these days, it's hard to imagine anyone could even get out the door with stolen money.

Most banks' security policies dictate that they give 'em the money and let 'em go, no fuss. Banks are more willing to lose a few thousand dollars than have a customer or employee killed and have to deal with the financial and legal repercussions of that. The bank my brother-in-law works for has been robbed a couple of times over the last few years. Plus, with the dye packs and tracking devices they put in the money bundles these days, the joke often ends up being on the crooks. This guy is fairly remarkable in that he's hit several banks in the same area over a period of time, with the same M.O., without being caught.

Proof civilzation is declining

He wears caps "to blend in with the other bank customers."
He's more of a madcap than a Mad Hatter.

Either way, he's obviously a hat-bitual offender.

His robberies are rather arbitrary and cap-ricious.

With that kind of money, he could keep art busy for a few years. Beter get your orders in while there is still time.

Yep, that would be a hat-astrophy.
