Mountain Biker Robs Bank!

It was the sport coat that was the problem never trust people wearing them . -- I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help?

Mike http://www.mlive.com/news/chronicle/...700.xml&coll=8 Man robs bank, gets away on mountain bike Thursday, May 28, 2009 By Heather Lynn Peters A man dressed in a sport coat and who rode a mountain bike managed to rob a Norton Shores bank Wednesday and get away with an undetermined amount of cash, police said. As of late afternoon Wednesday, authorities were still unable to locate the suspect who walked into the Fifth Third Bank, 710 Seminole, at 11:48 a.m. He "implied he had a weapon," jumped over a counter and grabbed wads of cash, said Norton Shores Police Detective Lt. Tim LaVigne. "He made some statements. He implied that he had a weapon, but nothing was seen," LaVigne said. "He jumped over the counter and started taking cash out of a cash drawer." No one was injured during the incident, LaVigne said. "He fled out the door and rode off on a bike," he said. Several witnesses saw the man leave on the bicycle. The suspect may have been covered in red dye at some point after he fled because a dye pack hidden in the money the man took may have activated, LaVigne said. Authorities searched the area for some time trying to locate the suspect, but he was still at large. Some money was discovered in the area during the search for the suspect, LaVigne said. Muskegon Heights Police assisted at the scene. |

Presumably the guy used a mountain bike so he could ride over curbs and do other things that might be hard on a road bike but that are very useful when trying to escape from the police. If Vandeman objects to bank robbers using mountain bikes, maybe he would be willing to market very rugged bicycles that are not mountain bikes for use by criminals in urban environments. -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |

" If the guy was robbing a bank, I don't doubt that he probably stole the bike too, making him definitely not a mountain biker, just a common thief. Any type of bike would do. Except that a racing bike usually has clip-in pedals which are difficult to use with street shoes, thus the MTB choice with platform pedals. He was in sports jacket which implies that he once probably owned a car too and had a good job. These are signs of our times, not signs that mountain bikers are outlaws. |

It's quite consonant with their outlaw lifestyle.
=v= I'm glad they don't resort to vowel language. Man robs bank, gets away on mountain bike[...] There are no banks to rob out on the trails. Presumably the guy used a mountain bike so he could ride over curbs and do other things that might be hard on a road bike but that are very useful when trying to escape from the police. =v= When I rob banks I like to use a rugged folding bike so I can do a quick-change. While all the police are out there looking for a bicyclist, I'm walking around with a Samsonite suitcase and a sack with a "$" printed on it, looking totally innocent. =v= Seriously, though, most of this kind of crime is done by car, and for that reason proximity to highways means more of this type of crime (though much of that crime tends to be car-related, e.g. car thefts). _Jym_ |
