Default Bank robber wearing a "Ford Shelby Cobra" hat

Alright, which one of you is the "Ray-Bandit", robbing banks across the U.S. wearing a "Ford Shelby Cobra" hat and Rayban-type sunglasses?


FBI seeks help in catching 'Ray-Bandit' bank robber - CNN.com

Has owning a Cobra become so important that we're now robbing banks?

One of my hobbies is writing fiction, and last year I wrote a story called The Bank Robber that I shared with my friends. It's about an ordinary guy who fantasizes about robbing banks. ..... I just called one of my friends to assure her the Ray-Bandit is not me. I encouraged her to read to the bottom of the article where the bandit is described as being 20-25 years old. I'm 65 and I can't pass for anything younger than 30.

Doug, Please remind me NOT to wear my Cobra hat the next time I go to the bank.

Well that really narrows it down as to whom they are looking for doesn't it.

Sorry Mark,

I have trouble identifying all of these new cars. Next time paint the make and model in big black letters.

There was a time when it was the fashion to put a big decal on your windshield with the make of the car on it. My wife at the time saw such a car one day and remarked, "The goes a Firebird." That's when it hit me that a clever robber could put a "Firebird" decal on his Datsun B210 and every female witness would tell the police he was driving a Firebird.

So, this guy may be driving a 427 Cobra with a Hyundia Elantra sticker on the windshield? That guy shouldn't be too hard to find...

Actually went to a local bank today, and it didn't occur to me until I got up to the clerk that I was indeed wearing my Cobra hat. Good thing I wear Maui Jim sunglasses. Even better that it was raining...
