Canadian bank robber forced to flee on foot after someone steals his getaway bicycle

Hamilton police responded to a robbery at a Bank of Montreal where a guy tried to rob the place after showing up on a bicycle.

...

Okay, first off, if you're planning a heist, maybe pick a getaway vehicle that can go faster than Lizzo. But this guy rolls up on two wheels, strolls in, and passes a note to the teller, motioning as if he had a weapon -- and the bank employees just weren't buying it, so he just ... left.

But his day gets worse.

When he gets outside and he discovers someone stole his bike!

...

No honor among thieves, huh?

...

He still somehow managed to get away from Canadian police, who are now on the lookout for two suspects: A failed bank robber who's probably still wandering the streets, and a bike thief.

...

The perfect Canadian mystery story!

Fortunately, a nearby security camera got a shot of the bicycle thief making his getaway.

That’s why I always wear roller skates to a bank robbery.

That KC Chiefs fan did all of his robberies with a bike... Easier to get away apparently. Cops are typically looking for a car... Not a bike.

This is why I always lock my bike carefully before going into the bank for, well, any reason.

“There’s a lot of crooks in this town,” said the would-be robber to police on his way to jail. “You need to do more to keep people’s stuff safe.”

Sounds like something that might happen in Gainesville, FL where any bike that is unattended for 9 seconds disappears. People in Gainesville seem to think that it is their duty to steal any bicycle or part of a bicycle that is not indoors of totally secured. Bikes that are left chained to large trees with long chains or cables running through the frame and wheels lose their handlebars within minutes of the owners walking into away.

***I read it as: “Comedian bank robber...”***

Did the note say “I have a gub”?
