A wise cop once told me “we win because the crooks are dumber than we are.”
This story proves that logic is spot on.
The man thought robbing a bank would be a piece of cake if he was invisible so he hired a sorcerer to make him disappear.
Once inside the dude ran from customer to customer grabbing money from them. It didn’t take long for those in the bank to put a whipping on the guy and hold him for Iranian police.
He then paid the guy five million Iranian rials (just over $400 US) and headed for the bank.
In what has to be one of the biggest understatements the would be crook told the court “I made a mistake. I understand now what a big trick was played on me.”
