-Short Attention Span Theater-
Dumb Robber Wants Smart Threads
A Brooklyn bank robber let his fashion sense get in the way of his common sense, reports the New York Daily News. The man walked into the HSBC branch on the Fulton Mall (search) in downtown Brooklyn at lunchtime Wednesday, handed a teller a note demanding an unspecified amount of money, and promptly got the cash.

He then walked out the door — and right into the Porta Bella men's clothing shop next door. "I want to buy a suit," the sartorially-inspired thief told the store's employees. To prove he could pay for the fancy duds, he whipped the cash he'd just stolen out of his pocket — just in time for the dye packet hidden among the bills to go off. "As he pulled money out of his jacket," store manager Ehab Seif told the newspaper, "it started to explode."

A huge cloud of thick red smoke began billowing through the shop. The robber took that as his cue to leave. "Later!" he shouted as he ran out the door, peeling off his red-stained clothing.

Once-green, now-red bills were scattered across the store, matching the suddenly-red carpet. The robber's knit hat, down jacket and leather gloves were just inside the door. Police were searching for a short, heavy-set, slightly red-tinged man without any sharp clothing.
Newspaper ad for the store, following week: "Inventory reduction! New suits, $299 and up, navy, charcoal, tan; $19.95 red, mottled red, red and other colors!"
