    Default Robber Recruits Henchmen on Craiglist

    Danger Room, 2 Oct 08: Robber Recruits Henchmen on Craiglist
    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. Oh, and pepper spray.....

    ......FBI spokeswoman Robbie Burroughs tells the Seattle Times that she'd never heard of anyone using an inner tube as a getaway vehicle.

    I can't wait to find out this guy's story once he gets caught. The minute I heard about this I figured it was some smart ass E4 who just got out and had a lot of time on his hands the past few years pulling security while day dreaming. The craigslist angle is very interesting.

    Is there such a thing as Slapout Based Crime? Could this be an example? Hiring decoys - that's pretty awesome.

    I thought the fact he got the decoys to show up but didn't pay them off was classic too.
