You would think when a guy dressed like that walks even -towards- a bank teller he would be up to no good.

Robs a bank with three lights attached to his head to prevent the cameras from capturing his face??

+1 to the robber

If he walked in, robbed the bank inside a busy Food Pyramid, walked out, and drove away....all while he had three bright lights on his forehead....then good for him; he deserved that money.

I went to that food pyramid shortly after the robbery. My only question, which sounds like the start of a joke, is how many police officers does it take to do a robbery followup? There were three police cars when I got there and it looked like they were wrapping up interviews. Later, when the bank had been reopened, two more police cars showed up. I understand the want to be thorough but these weren't detectives or forensics.

Often, a criminal returns to the scene of a crime.

Where'd you get the cool hat?

and don't forget he took the time to apologize to the tellers for the inconvienence[}:)]

If he is ever caught, at least he can't claim temporary insanity.  He knew what he was doing was wrong, because he apologized and therefore mens rea exists.  But I do give the guy props for a great disguise.

I think you guys are missing the obvious, that bank was robbed by an alien....[:O]

I guess ET has now become another sad statistic in the world of stereo-typed child actors gone bad.

That alien that robbed the bank sure is going to be disappointed when he finds out the paper he got has no value except for under table trading.  He should have taken their color copy machine, then he could get into the Tulsa political environment with less risk and greater profits.  Here in this town millions of dollars of floating paper money disappear under the watching's eyes of overpaid supervisors.

Five police cars to make a meter maid's report that a flying saucer was parked in the parking lot where the people were waiting for the government of dole out the next round of free money.

I think one of the shiny gadget sites had a story about something similar, but if I remember right, the idea was to use infrared LEDs.  They cause the camera CCD to flare and obscure the face, but since our eyes don't see infrared, it would just look like a hat with decorations.

Here ya go:

Stupid question...if the robber was all covered up, how did the tellers know he is a white man?

That is stupid. You know aliens prefer credit unions.
