Laughing Stock II
Robert Cole, a bank robber who had escaped from a prison hospital in Sydney, NSW, Australia, was easily captured while window shopping in a Sydney mall. He was caught largely because his disguise made him stick out like a sore thumb: he used a pen to draw on an eye-catching beard and moustache that witnesses described as “almost comical — it was black and he had blond hair.” This time, he is being sent to a high-security prison. (Sydney Telegraph) ...Where he’ll brag that he got transferred with a stroke from his pen.
