Bad recycling: pay stub used as bank robbery note

BEIJING, Dec. 30 (Chinese medianet)-- A pay stub with a

threatening note on it in a Chicago bank robbery made it easy for investigators

to solve the case.

An FBI affidavit said a man walked into a Fifth Third

Bank on Friday and handed a teller a note that read "Be Quick Be Quit (sic).

Give your cash or I'll shoot."

The robber got about 400 dollars but left half of his

note with the teller. Investigators found the other half outside the bank's

front doors, thus to make out the man's name and address by a whole.

The suspect was arrested at his home. A judge ordered

him held without bond Monday. If convicted of bank robbery, he faces 20 years in

prison.
