Long ago banks were robbed by masked men wear bandannas over their face. Recently in the news a local golf course was robbed by a man wearing mens underwear on head. This got me thinking... if you had no choice but to rob a bank... say your child was being held hostage and you had no choice, would you put panties on your head? What type of disguise would you wear?

I'd wear a ski mask and put some blue contacts on. I don't know about panties but it better be clean and sexy.
I saw this on TV, one man who tried to hold up a convenience store use palm fronds to cover his face. PALM FRONDS!!! His weapon? FLIPFLOPS!!! The guy at the register didn't know how to react, to laugh or be scared. The palm fronds were in the way of the robber's face to see that there was another customer in the store that eventually got him.

How funny.. I doubt I would give the guy any money I'd have thought it was a joke for sure. I can't even imagine! It sounds like a cartoon... where the character picks up a tree and moves it around for a disguise. And... Flipflops? What are you going to do with flip flops. If you are going to use a shoe, make it a heavy one.
Thanks for sharing.
Contacts are a good idea.

LOL I do believe robbers arent really the smartest people. I mean you can hear so many different stories, like wearing panties hehe, or robber falling asleep, or I dont know there are just so many to chose from lol Anyway if I robbed anything I would consider doing it like a pro hehe, so noone would recognize me and would study the situation completly. I mean where's the point of commiting a crime only to go to jail? No, if I was a robber I'd be a pro!

Hey glords! If I had to rob a bank and I needed a disguise I
guess I would stick a pair of pantihose on my head like they
used to use the stockings to rob people. You know that makes
your face all distorted and scary looking! Why don't robbers
think of that anymore! Not that I'm trying to give them any
kinds of tips or anything.lol And what happened to them wearing
Halloween masks? Anthing would make more sense then putting
underwear on your head! WTF were they thinking? What am I
saying anyway? They were robbing a bank! Obviously, they weren't
doing much thinking at all!

The pantihose makes me think of that movie Raising Arizonia, when they put pantihose on to steal some diapers... as he is fleeing the scene a man in a pick up says... "son you got a panty on your head." Too funny, but it makes a lot more sense then mens underware. You know... at least the underware is more distracting than the guy who thinks a baseball cap is an appropriate disguise.

I surely wont do that. Even if I am a robber I would put some clothes just to cover my mouth or wearing a head gear to cover the head. Wearing underwear while robbing? I guess this is what they mean by desperate times need desperate measures.
