Bank Robber Wears Ugly Wig, Still Fails to Conceal His Identity

Police are looking for this chap who they say robbed the First Federal of Lorain bank yesterday afternoon.

As you can tell from the picture, our suspect could use some lessons on the finer points of concealing one’s identity. Here, our master thief is seen wearing what quite possibly is one of the ugliest wigs in the history of mankind while doing nothing to hide his face, which is, you know, a pretty recognizable thing, especially when there’s a clear picture of it circulating in police stations and media outlets. May we recommend some pantyhose or a mask next time?

Police Detective Buddy Sivert told the Morning Journal: “This guy shouldn’t be too hard to identify.”

But what if he’s wearing a different wig now?!
