Now you KNOW that guy had to be a NASCAR fan . . .

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Man robs bank with rusty pitchfork
Wednesday, September 8, 2004 Posted: 7:59 AM EDT (1159 GMT) 

AIKEN, South Carolina (AP) -- A robber who used a rusty pitchfork to
stick up a bank got away -- and so far, finding him has been like
looking for a needle in a haystack.
The man, wearing sunglasses and a mask, entered Security Federal Bank
Tuesday morning and threatened employees with the 4-foot-long pitchfork.
The man took an undisclosed amount of money.
The robber dropped the farm tool as he ran from the bank through a
wooded area to a golf course behind the bank, police said.
Bloodhounds tracked the robber to a fast food restaurant parking lot,
where police say the man got into a white van driven by a woman.
No customers were in the bank during the holdup, and no one was injured.
