Same bloke as did one stop the day before? I can't be certain maybe the echo can show us both pics side by side or maybe even tell us if the Police have eliminated that line of enquirery.

Eastern European accent?

He must have spoke in the bank.

A lot of essential additional information is omitted.

It shouldn't be difficult to trace Him, can't be many shops selling Halloween masks like that.

Apparently he was hanging around by the cashpoint outside pestering people to give him money, then when nobody obliged he went into the bank and tried to rob it.
Clearly a seasoned bank robber who has done a first rate job of covering his tracks. No wonder the police are baffled.

That's not Osama bin Laden. That's his cousin - Osama bin Bankrobber.

And what the hells an Ugg Boot, or is it you in the $17 bult (whatever one of them is) about to rob the bank, back to school for you sunshine

Dear MMM444,

Surely you know what Ugg Boots are. I KNOW you've seen them - aside from the fact that the name is ALMOST properly descriptive (they just left of the "ly"), they are the ones that look like you're wearing a muppet on your feet.

I am so glad they don't come in blue. Grover would be just about rowdy over that, he would.

@ Iceel, No i dont know what ugg boots are or Air Yeezy, ( Like your wearing a muppet on your feet?????), nope, never seen anyone with Bleeper or Kermit on the end of his boots. While your about, What is a bult??. Would Grover know??
