A 78-year-old woman with two past bank robbery convictions was arrested again for a third heist in Missouri, police said.
Bonnie Gooch walked into Goppert Financial Bank and allegedly handed a note to the teller demanding thousands in cash.
She also left a note saying "Thank you sorry I didn't mean to scare you", before driving off with the cash.
Gooch now sits in jail with a bond amount of $25,000 (£20,129).
Wearing a black N95 mask, black sunglasses and plastic gloves, she entered the bank on 5 April and slipped the teller a note that said, "I need 13,000 small bills", according to court documents obtained by the Kansas City Star.
Surveillance video shows Gooch at one point banging on the counter, mandating a speedier delivery of the cash, prosecutors said, before leaving in her Buick Enclave with its handicap registration displayed.
Pleasant Hill Missouri Police Department officers responded to calls of a "robbery in progress" at around 15:20 local time (21:20 BST) and found Gooch in her vehicle smelling strongly of alcohol, and cash strewn across the floor, prosecutors said.

“A 78-year-old woman with two past bank robbery convictions was arrested again....”
Apparently she’s not familiar with the definition of insanity. 😏
Did she have a weapon?
At least she was polite.
She’s a pip!
THE GOOCH!........................
.
Robbed the bank all by herself?
Did Clyde take the day off?
Why can’t these women stick to shoplifting?
Top of the world, Ma!
I suspect she did it to support her Bingo habit.
Barely above 40 centimeters?
40 cm is around 16 inches.
Leprecon?

There may be a method to her madness. Few 78 year old women can afford food, housing and medical coverage today. Unless there married to a rich guy, and they are too old to start looking for one.
Trying the doe-eyed look but failing miserably. Maybe it worked when she was young.
