Criminal mastermind: u iz not one.
(Edit for linkage: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2011/07/prog-rock_bassist_enters_stupi.php)

[Coheed and Cambria bassist Michael Todd] went to a Walgreens in Attleboro. He walked up to the pharmacy desk and showed the druggist his cell phone, where he had written a note saying he had a bomb. Then he asked for six bottles of the pain medication.

So far, so good.

But his skill as a robber went decidedly downhill when he failed to arrange for a getaway car, a rather important element of the stick-up trade. Instead, the moron hailed a cab to take him back to the arena. Witnesses, naturally, got the name of the cab company, which easily traced where the cab was headed.

By the time Todd reached the Comcast, the cops were already waiting for him.

Oddly, this happened in the town I lived in until recently, a few months ago. Some guy held up the BofA, then made his getaway in a cab, which was found parked around the corner.

At least he had the good sense to get out of the cab?

That's a damn shame.

Oh, sorry, I didn't finish the story. No, he was sitting there arguing with the driver about payment. (The driver obviously had no idea what was going on.)

*wipes away a tear* That's beautiful.
