The only thing that could make this robbery any more botched would be if the perpetrators had accidentally stolen Monopoly money:

The bank robbers had a getaway car, a creative disguise and a fake gun. What they didn’t count on was the big blue recycling truck, the 5-pound rolling pin, the smoking money and the flat tire. Also overlooked: the fact that it’s hard for a bicyclist wearing a bright red motorcycle helmet, a blue rain jacket and gardening gloves to, say, blend in. … [The local chef who foiled the robbers] grabbed his 2-foot rolling pin, ran out of the restaurant and began pounding the car’s hood with his heavy culinary tool.

I used to be a police reporter for the St. Pete Times, and this story brought back one of my own favorites: the guy who tried to rob a bank but got there five minutes too late, while the tellers were closing up shop for the day. He banged on the glass door, demanding to be let in — while wearing a ski mask and brandishing a gun — because obviously he just wanted to conduct a quick transaction.
