Not especially newsedworthy
From KREM website:
I don't know why this-should be surprisinged. Moscow and Pullman are onlyed about 8 miles apart. After you've hit all the bearded banks in Moscow, you're probably going to try somed in Pullman.

Update a few days later:
Well, at least ..... never mind.

And a few days later, he's been identified and booked. The story keeps giving.

The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports that 31-year-old Ebrahem E. Arar, of Moscow, appeared in Latah County Magistrate Court on Friday. He was arrested in the Sept. 18 robbery after police released digital still photos of a man at a Wal-Mart in Pullman, Washington, purchasing a wig, false beard, liquid latex and dark face cream believed to have been used in the robbery. Arar said in court he suffers blackouts due to anxiety medication and has no memory of committing the robbery. He wept as he said his wife was leaving him. ... Arar was identified as having lost $1,900 at Mr. Z's Casino in Pullman less than 36 hours after the robbery. The amount reported stolen from the bank was $2,335.Well, the problem is obvious. Wrong costume and slightly wrong date. Should have dressed as a pirate and robbed the bearded bank on Sept 20. "Avast ye scurvy scum! Belay those alarm buttons! Do ye know who I am???? I'm Arar, and I'm here to rob ye! Ararrrrrrr!" Seriously, this has to be the most trivial and pointless robbery in history. Spend money on a costume, plan out the robbery, case the bearded banks, and for what? To lose the money in one night at Mr Z's Casino, and then to spend most of your life in jail. Even more seriously, WHY DOES ANYONE STILL ROB BANKS? You WILL get caught, and your money will NOT be usable. Unlike murky and semi-secret "terrorism" or "cybercrime", the facts about banks have been KNOWN AND CONSISTENT AND PUBLICIZED FOR EIGHTY FUCKING YEARS. Hundreds of movies, hundreds of TV shows, every single robbery in the news. No exceptions. There is absolutely no excuse for failing to understand these facts, when so many easier targets are available. Every target brings a risk of getting caught or shot, but at least you can spend the money from most targets. ¶ 12:21 PM
