Chicago — A 19-year-old Lakeview man robbed a Boystown bank on Monday afternoon, less than an hour after his landlord threatened to begin eviction proceedings if he didn’t pay past-due rent, federal officials said in court documents.
Chicago police located Myles Thorpe near his home in the 400 block of West Diversey after following a GPS tracker that the bank’s teller hid in a stack of cash.
An FBI agent’s complaint against Thorpe said his landlord knocked on his door 52 minutes before the robbery to demand payment of $1,924.75 in back rent.
Just before 2 p.m., Thorpe allegedly slid a note under the teller’s glass at a Huntington Bank branch located inside Jewel-Oscot, 3531 North Broadway.

While the teller complied with the demand, Thorpe allegedly told her that he wanted the $10 bills, too. He got away with $2,141 — and a GPS tracker, the FBI agent alleged.

This guy’s housing needs will now be met - courtesy of the federal Bureau of Prisons!
Chicago authorities will charge the landlord.
Yet another reason to not live anywhere near Chicago.
Landlord will not only do time but be forced to hand over his property to the “victim”.

“C-I-L-L my landlord…”
“Sir, do you have an account here? My cash drawer won’t open without an account number. I apologize for the delay. Oh...and your punctuation is troubling!
Can we also work on proper use of capital letters? My Mom is a retired English teacher. Now I’m doing it too, compulsively correcting everybody’s notes. Isn’t that funny?”
“Listen, bank teller, I’m gonna make it real clear: I want one thousand nine-fifty right here. One thousand. Nine-fifty. Right here....”
“Put All 20, 50, 100 in Bag Hurry and No body will die No dye Packs Hurry,” the note read.

“No dye packs”. Is this sort of like asking for no MSG in a Chinese restaurant?
Well, he might have earned three hots and a cot, buy its Chicago.
Not a lot of deep thinking and planning going on in that kid’s head.
“A 19-year-old Lakeview man...”
I thought that “youth” was the correct term.
> “No dye packs”.
It has been told to me by a person thrice convicted of robbing banks that “Oh, you can scrub those dye packs off”.
Free room and board now..
It’s all cool. Democrats have somebody who will cast his ballots for him while he’s away.
He got socialism backward.
