When more than $230,000 was mistakenly deposited in an Anchorage fisherman's bank account, he didn't waste any time taking care of the error, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Authorities caught up with Timothy Andrew Boles, 37, in a Soldotna hotel this week with a brand new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, a wad of cash, new clothes and a new laptop, according to troopers. Boles, who had cleaned out the account, told police the payout had been "20 years coming" and that he was on his way to Florida, troopers said.


I can't help but to see the humor of this.

1. Don't know if my first call would be to the bank or bank examiners

but it sure as hell wouldn't be to a auto dealership or travel agent.

What a doofus.

2. If he wanted to turn to crime

he should have set up an offshore account and then decamped to follow the money.

Never steal anything that can be repossessed. Only white collar type crime will ever pay.
