Police in Northern Colorado are looking for a man they believe tried to rob a bank and failed to leave with any money. It happened on Dec. 17 in Loveland.

Loveland police say a man walked in to the First National Bank, located at 750 North Lincoln Avenue, and handed the teller a note. His handwriting was allegedly almost completely illegible and the teller had a hard time reading it.

While the teller was struggling to read the note, the man reportedly got frustrated and quickly left the bank.

The man was wearing a brown hoodie, a green baseball cap and sunglasses. If you recognize the suspect or know anything about the robbery attempt that might help investigators, you're asked to contact the Loveland Police Department.

Who immediately thought of the bank-robbery scene from Woody Allen’s 1969 movie “Take the Money and Run?”

I had a boss like that once. He would write me a paycheck, and the teller couldn’t read it. It happened twice and soon after I left because I got tired of chasing my money.

Public school education saves the day! One couldn’t read the other couldn’t write.

Must be a doctor who is down on his luck.

I’m WAY too slow for this room. Sorry.

[Retain Mike]

Well, there is another incitement of public education. He was not prepared for an honest job and even lacked the rudimentary skills for a dishonest one.
