And here we have a February entrant for idiot of the year. At 83, one would think that you would be at the top of your chosen profession. You should be able to do whatever it is you do for a living, fairly easily. Not his one. At 83, having been a bank robber for his entire life, save for a stint in prison, the spry one still cannot hack it as a successful bank robber. Key elements of a successful bank robbery include actually getting to spend your acquired wealth without getting caught. Reason he got caught and got his mugshot put in the hallowed halls of idiocy? He rented the getaway car in his own name. Sigh.
Police reportedly arrested an 83-year-old man who was wanted in connection to seven bank heists conducted within the past seven months in Illinois.

I'd say time to find a new profession, but at 83 after this last stint in prison, he likely won't make it out to give another one a try. lol

It's unusual to see an 83-year-old man stealing.

That was not very smart. Faculties decline as one ages, in many cases. He might like the security of prison, knowing what will happen and not having to make any decisions.
