FORT WORTH -- A bank robber wrote a holdup note on the back of his resume -- the ultimate bad career move.

Police used the job-search information to identify the man, who was arrested and charged with robbing a Wells Fargo bank branch on Fort Worth's east side.

The man had tried to hide the personal information by taping black construction paper over it. But then he forgot to retrieve the note and take it with him after giving it to the teller.

*SNIP*

1. Makes me want to see his resume...

What kinds of jobs are available for idiots?

2. So let me guess...

In his resume, under "Accomplishments", this guy wrote:

"Organised FreeReupblic.Com Pro-War March on Washington.
uhhhmmm...."

3. LOL!

Actually, I wouldn't really be surprised! He could then claim that he was giving the money to a "good cause!"

Reminds me of the genius criminal mind that once wrote a hold-up note on the back of his traffic ticket. Or how about the Einstein that kept a locked door of the building he was robbing open by putting his parking ticket in the door! Needless to say, it wasn't hard to find either of them.
