Authorities in Toledo, Ohio said a woman and her son robbed an area tax preparation office with nothing more than a curling iron wrapped up in a towel.

The Toledo Police Department said Sonia Watson and her son Antonio are on the run after robbing Liberty Tax Services of $280, WUPW-TV reported.

Officers said the duo entered the business, threatened the employees and then Watson struck a woman with the curling iron when she refused to give up her possessions. The pair fled the office but were caught on surveillance video as they exited.

Only criminals will have curly hair, which'll make 'em easier to find.

Good thing she wasn't using a protractor - she might have been charged with possessing a weapon of math instruction.

"There's a big girl, who had a little curling iron right in the middle of her right hand. When she was good, she was very good indeed. And when she was bad, she was very horrid."
