You'd Think By Now They'd Know

Pasadena, CA

Dye packs. The bane of the bank robber. Every bank uses them. EVERY bank.

Which begs the question, how do they still fall for it?

Josh J. Lettiera, 34, was picked up yesterday for a robbery at a Pasadena City National Bank branch. Walked out and, surprise! the dye pack went off. Disperse Red 9 everywhere.

So flustered he dropped his fake gun.

Seems police had him ID'd pretty quickly because they nailed him by staking out his car that night. Talk about being red in the face.

Sorry.
