Quote:
In the long list of criminal dos and don'ts, one of the top pieces of advice – above not robbing a CCTV camera shop, or not forging banknotes with running ink – has to be 'never rob a bank thinking that you're invisible when you're not actually invisible.'

Sadly for one man in Iran, he made just that mistake – and as a result, police in Tehran are hunting a fake sorcerer who convinced the man he was invisible and so could rob banks safely.

[. . .]

He explained that he had paid 5 million rials (just under £290) to a wizard imposter, who in return gave hims spells to tie to his arm. The sorcerer told him that they would make him invisible, and that he could then rob banks to his heart's content.

I especially like the staged picture of what an invisible bank-robber wouldn't look like.

Got to love these stories... if criminal masterminds are caught what makes them think they won't?

What about the guy that wrote his hold-up note on the back of his business card?

And I love the link to the robber who was too impatient for his money!
