Bandits

Currently watching Snatch. I just had to blog this from the LA Times:

Arrested Man Says He Is FedEx Bandit

A 40-year-old Iranian national has confessed to being the "FedEx bandit," who robbed 43 banks in Southern California over two years, taking an estimated $300,000, officials said Tuesday.

Farzad Naroli was arrested Monday as he tried to walk across the border from Mexico at the San Ysidro port of entry.

Thirty of teh robberies were in San Diego County. the rest occurred in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

The FBI dubbed him the FedEx bandit because he gave tellers a FedEx envelope and then ordered them to fill it with cash. Naroli is scheduled to be arraigned today.


I just had to do a follow up on the other bandits I blogged about. Those are some clever guys over at the FBI. I guess that's why they get paid to do what they do. Because at first I was thinking the "FedEx Bandit" was named that because he came in with a Taco Bell bag.

I wonder if Bush is handing them those names. He names all those stupid politicians stupid pet-names all the time.
