SPUR, Texas - "Red" Rountree shuffled into the bank and surveyed the teller windows.
He had done this twice before and knew the best way was to pick a bank within a full gas tank’s drive of home, hit it early before there were too many customers and then never, ever return to that city.
He walked slowly up to an open window and handed two manila envelopes to the teller. On the first, in red marker, was written "ROBBERY." The second envelope, he told her, was for the money.
"What do you mean?" the teller asked the bespectacled man with nearly translucent skin and wrinkled, knotted hands. "Are you kidding?"
"Hurry up and put the money in the envelope or you’ll get hurt," Rountree told her.
As the teller complied, Rountree became the oldest known bank robber in U.S. history. He was 91. (from "Last of the small-time bank robbers" by By Chelsea J. Carter)
