A few minutes later, pursued by armed security guards, the woman ran back to the car and jumped in. As they pulled away, the woman told her friend that she had just robbed the bank. The friend, displaying the most presence of mind of anyone in this whole sordid saga, stopped the car and ordered the woman out. With wads of cash still in her hands, the woman ran down the street, trying to flag down and steal a passing car. One of the drivers she flagged must have seen what she was carrying, because he leaped out of his car, punched her, and grabbed most of the money. As the two wrestled in the middle of the street, the police arrived and arrested both of them. The woman was charged with bank robbery and attempted auto theft, and the man she tried to flag down was charged with robbing *her*. SF Police said this was the first robbery suspect they could recall who got robbed during commission of the crime. And on top of that, the robber *paid* to earn this dubious distinction. On the bright side, she's got a really good shot at a spot on David Letterman's next installment of Stupid People Tricks... ############# # This message to Hungary-Online@hungary.yak.net # was from Dave Del Torto # # To unsubscribe, # send "unsubscribe" to # An announcement-only subscription (less volume) is available # at # Send mail to for more information, # or to if you need human assistance. #############
