SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) -- Police in Silver Spring, Maryland, can thank a forgetful robber for some good evidence: his picture. Officers say the bandit robbed a camera store after asking for a passport picture. When the clerk opened the register, the suspect drew a gun and demanded money.
While he got away with some cash and the photo, police say he forgot about the negative.
Detectives have made new prints and are distributing the photo to the media.
