I was having one of those days. You know the one where it feels like nothing is going right and Murphy is working double time but then i read this.

"IS this the world's unluckiest bank robber?

David Maksimik, 59, not only bungled his getaway he even ended up calling police to the home where he'd stashed his haul, according to US media reports.

Connecticut police claim Mr Maksimik robbed the People's United Bank on Old Kings Highway north, in Darien, with a fake grenade strapped to his waist and a gun on January 29.

He reportedly escaped, but then crashed his getaway vehicle into another car.

The Associated Press reports the hapless Mr Maksimik needed to hail a bus, then a taxi, before eventually calling his sister to pick him up.

But the Connecticut Post reports when Mr Maksimik finally made it home, he found his roommate dead and called emergency services.

Police responding to the suicide say they found bank money totalling $US3745 ($5378) inside a bag on Mr Maksimik's bed and arrested him.

Mr Maksimik appeared before a US federal magistrate in Bridgeport yesterday. He was held without bond at the North Ave jail pending a hearing next week. "

I dont feel so bad now
 
Reminds me of the bank robbery in Detroit in 1970 when two men pulled up to the curb outside a bank, ran inside, waved guns around, came running out shortly thereafter with a bag of loot, only to discover their getaway car had been stolen.

That'd just reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally piss a guy off, y'know?
 
David Maksimik may or may not be the world's unluckiest bank robber, but he has to be at least in the top ten as the dumbest.
