Danger Room, 2 Oct 08: Robber Recruits Henchmen on Craiglist (http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/10/robber-recruits.html#more)
The award for crook of the year goes to the as-of-yet-uncaptured robber who not only "wrested a bag of cash from an armored truck guard and escaped down a creek with an inner tube." He used "decoys summoned from a Craigslist ad to distract witnesses," too, ABC News reports (http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=5930862&page=1). Oh, and pepper spray.....
......FBI spokeswoman Robbie Burroughs tells the Seattle Times (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2008217929_robbery01m0.html) that she'd never heard of anyone using an inner tube as a getaway vehicle.
