Recently, a man rode up to a drive-in bank in Eugene, OR on a BMX style bike and robbed them. He claimed he had a bomb in his possession. What will robbers think of next? :roll:
Bank robber on bike rolls off with drive-up teller window cash

Eugene police are looking for a suspect bent on changing the bank robber's paradigm.
For one thing, the ski cap-masked robber rolled up to the Umpqua Bank branch Thursday in the 3700-block of West 11th Avenue on a bicycle.
For another, he remained onboard, pulling into the drive-up teller window and demanded money.
Apparently the suspect claimed to have a bomb, said Eugene Police spokeswoman, Kerry Delf.
The suspect, described as wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and glasses, made off with an undisclosed amount of money on a BMX-style bicycle around 5:30 p.m.
It was not the day's only bank-robbing bike tale.
Two hours earlier in Corvallis, a man robbed a Washington Federal Savings Bank branch.
That suspect, dressed in a gray hooded sweatshirt with pink writing on the chest, actually walked into the bank at 1111 N.W. Ninth St. around 3:30 p.m. He demanded money from a teller then fled on a bicycle with an undisclosed amount of cash.
He is described as 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall with a medium build and a larger nose. He did not use a weapon and kept the hood of his sweatshirt pulled up during the robbery. He also wore orange-colored aviator sunglasses, blue jeans, and black ski gloves and carried a blue fanny pack.
