Darth Vader Robs Bank

I guess being a galactic bad guy bad guy must not pay what it used to. 

Police say a man donning a Darth Vader outfit with mask and cape walked into a bank in Long Island, New York and pulled out a gun – not a light saber – and demanded money.

The “Star Wars” character was caught on a surveillance camera.  No word on how much he walked away with.  Luckily no one was hurt.  Police say the dark lord took off on foot.

Meanwhile, here’s another cornball story -

The Associated Press reports that a Pittsburgh-area man robbed a bank wearing a woman’s blond wig, fake breasts under a sweater, and clown pants.

Police say 48-year-old Dennis Hawkins was found sitting in a parked car covered in red dye from an exploding packet in a bag of money when he was arrested.

Police Chief Greg Geppert says Hawkins robbed the bank at gunpoint, using a toy BB gun he had shoplifted from a store.

Geppert says Hawkins then entered a woman’s car.  She got out, took her keys and alerted police.  Hawkins was found sitting in the car.
