Recommended Posts

Just saw this.... made me laugh ;)

 

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An absent-minded bank robber dressed as Santa Claus will spend Christmas in an Australian jail after he forgot about his trousers.

 

Gregory Harland-White, 40, planned to rob a bank in a small town on Australia`s island state Tasmania dressed as Santa Claus, dump the suit in a horse trailer and get away on a bicycle, The Mercury newspaper in Tasmania reported on Wednesday.

 

Harland-White bought his Santa suit from a chicken feed shop near the bank and armed himself with two pieces of pipe taped together to look like a gun.

 

After robbing the bank of A$13,451 (5,700 pounds), Harland-White ran into a nearby horse trailer to dump the Santa suit, before heading for his get away vehicle, a bicycle chained to a power pole more than a block away.

 

But he forgot to take off his Santa trousers and was quickly caught, never making it to his bicycle. Harland-White pleaded guilty to bank robbery in a court in Tasmania on Tuesday and is awaiting sentencing, The Mercury said.
