Bank Robbery: Florida Man Walks Into Unlocked Bank
A Florida man, Colton Vanhonhenstien, tried to pull off the world’s dumbest bank robbery. This past Saturday at around 7 PM, in Hobe Sound. The Wells Fargo bank alarm monitoring service hit up the Martin County Sheriff’s Office about a robbery in progress.
According to WPEC, So, Colton goes to a gas station, buys himself a mask, and heads straight across the street to the Wells Fargo bank. And guess what? The bank’s doors are just unlocked. Not locked, not even close. He just waltzes right in, thinking he’s hit the freaking jackpot. He starts going through drawers and cabinets, probably hoping for bundles of cash, but finds nada. Zilch. Nothing. Empty-handed, he strolls out like it was just another Tuesday.
Bank Robbery Fail:
Meanwhile, the bank’s security team, seeing this masked dude on camera, finally decides to call MCSO about the bank robbery an hour later. So when the cops roll up, ready for action, the place is empty. Not a soul in sight. Not even our wannabe burglar Colton.
But here’s where it gets hilarious. The security footage from the gas station shows Colton buying that mask. I mean, crystal clear images of him paying five bucks for his criminal disguise. MCSO tracked him down and slapped him with a burglary charge. Even though the only loot he walked away with was a mask.
Now, here’s the million-dollar question… Why were the bank’s doors unlocked in the first place? And why did the alarm company wait a whole hour to report the so-called “in-progress” robbery? That’s what I wanna know.
So, Colton, my man, if you’re gonna try your hand at bank robbery again, just don’t. You’re not really cut out for that kinda thing. And Wells Fargo, maybe start locking those doors after hours.
